The playing card and specialty shop

When you hear Altenburg, you think of skat and playing cards. That's right! Playing cards have been produced here for 500 years and the game of skat was invented 200 years ago. In Germany's most diverse playing card store, you will find over 350 different card games, a myriad of antiquarian playing cards, books about playing cards and accessories.

The playing card store is the Eldorado for playing card fans and the largest in Germany. Here you will find the ASS Altenburger Spielkartenfabrik factory outlet with the entire range in one place. There are over 400 different playing cards and playing card games from all over the world as well as exclusive own editions to browse through. Playing card collectors will be interested in the extensive antiquarian bookshop. Anyone who has found playing cards in the attic and wants to have them valued or sell them is in the right place here. Other Altenburg originals in the store at the market include regional handicrafts and culinary specialties such as liqueurs, mustard, cheese, beer and saffron. Many of these can be tasted on site or during guided tours. The staff will be happy to advise you on planning private tours of the region, which the company organizes.
