Local business updates in Schuld and Alsfeld

In Schuld an der Ahr, the local village shop will remain operational following a change in management. Effective November 1, 2026, Alexandra Küsgen and Michael Bräutigam, who currently operate Dorfspezi Wershofen, will take over the premises. The shop will be rebranded as ‘Dorfspezi Schuld’ under a new concept, succeeding the two-year tenure of Werner’s Nahkaufmärkte.

Existing customer cards from Werner’s Nahkaufmärkte will retain their balances, but they cannot be transferred to the new Dorfspezi Schuld. Customers may continue to use their cards and redeem balances at the Werner’s Nahkaufmärkte location in Königsfeld.

In Alsfeld, the former chocolate market has been expanded and rebranded as ‘Lecker Gedöns’. Organized by the Alsfeld Trade Association (AlsAktiv e. V.) and the city, the event now includes savory offerings such as grilled skewers, sausages, and soups alongside traditional chocolates and pralines.
