The rush for school backpacks has begun in Lübeck, with advisory events in shopping centers like Citti-Park and Luv-Center. Experts assist parents and children in selecting and fitting backpacks, complemented by activities such as traffic safety training and raffles. The Lübecker Nachrichten are participating with a draw where the backpack bill can be covered.
The purchase of school backpacks in Lübeck starts early, often right after Christmas, as reported by saleswoman Angelika Teschke from Leder Freytag. "Besides the look, the fit is most important," she explains, "the school backpack must sit properly." An example is five-year-old Thomke Juna, who selects a blue backpack with tiger patterns, leopards, and koala bears in Citti-Park Lübeck.
The backpack parade at Citti-Park takes place on January 9 and 10. Center manager Yasmin Barthel describes a comprehensive program in the mall's ground floor, including advice from experts at Leder Freytag and McPaper. New this year is the focus on traffic safety: The Moin Driving School from Stockelsdorf demonstrates behavior at bus stops and the blind spot using a bus in front of the entrance, in cooperation with Autohaus L&Z. Children learn traffic rules in a Bobbycar course. Other highlights include self-defense classes with WTU Wing Tsun for children from three years old, a Polaroid photo point, a raffle, and on January 10, walking acts with characters from Paw Patrol (12 to 6 p.m.).
The Lübecker Nachrichten (LN) are running the "We pay your backpack bill" promotion at Citti-Park from January 8 to February 7. Visitors register digitally at the LN stand to enter the draw.
Further events follow: On January 17 at Hugo Hamann GmbH from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Hinter den Kirschkaten 21, with info stands, crafting activities, and shows. The event at Luv Shopping-Center runs on January 30 and 31 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Branch manager Kerstin Krüger from Leder Freytag emphasizes: "We present dozens of school backpacks and help find the right one." There is also a supporting program and the LN promotion.
