From elementary school to secondary school

A few years on, those once-beloved designs suddenly feel uncool and out of fashion. That's the moment a new school backpack is urgently needed!

Wir hatten bei Ranzen-Kontor einen wirklich bezaubernden Termin zur ersten Einschulung unseres ältesten Sohnes. Ein besonderer Moment, den sich die Oma nicht nehmen lassen wollte und die den Schulranzen spendiert hat. Die Beratung war absolut kompetent, sowohl was Qualität und Funktionalität angeht als auch in Sachen Rückengesundheit. Es wurde wirklich alles getestet, wie der Ranzen beim Laufen, Rennen und Springen sitzt und komplett auf unseren Sohn eingestellt. Da er für sein Alter schon relativ groß ist, kamen manche Modelle infrage, andere nicht. Genau das wurde fachlich sauber berücksichtigt. Trotzdem durfte er sich am Ende selbst für sein Wunschmodell entscheiden, samt seiner Lieblingsthematik "Star Wars". Ganz besonders hervorheben möchten wir die Verkäuferin Tina, die uns mit sehr viel Fachwissen und gleichzeitig unfassbarer Herzlichkeit begleitet hat. Unser Sohn konnte seinen Namen stolz an die Tafel schreiben und mit seinem neuen Schulranzen ein Erinnerungsfoto mit Urkunde machen. Dazu gab es noch tolle Extras wie eine Sammelmappe, Patches und Reflektoren für den Schulweg. Es wurde wirklich an alles gedacht. Das ist etwas völlig anderes, als einen Schulranzen anonym online zu bestellen. Hier trifft Fachkompetenz auf Herzlichkeit und Empathie, die einen Schulranzenkauf zu einer unvergesslichen Kindheitserinnerung machen. Dafür von Herzen Danke und viele Grüße von Vincent und Familie.

Das war ein ganz toller Termin 🫶. Ganz lieben Dank an die tolle Mitarbeiterin, die sich super Zeit genommen hat und ganz toll mit meinem Sohn kommuniziert hat! Die Auswahl an Ranzen ist aus meiner Sicht sehr umfangreich :-). Am Ende haben wir ein komplettes Set gekauft. Ranzen, Sporttasche, Brotdose etc und sogar die passende Zuckertüte. Ich kann das Geschäft wärmstens empfehlen 💐

Noch nie erlebt: diese wunderbare Kombination von Auswahl, Fachkompetenz, Beratungsqualität, Empathie, Geduld. Andrea ist alles zusammen: Erzieherin, Mutter, Oma, Lehrerin, Freundin. Eine tiefe Kennerin der Kinderseele. Sie versteht es, ein schüchternes Kind zur autonomen Entscheidung zu führen. Es danken das stolze Schulkind Raya und die glücklichen Großeltern Heide und Michael

Wir waren vor wenigen Wochen dort und haben einen Schulranzen gekauft und wir waren sehr positiv überrascht! Wir wurden ganz wunderbar beraten - mit viel Geduld, Kompetenz und ganz ohne Kaufdruck. Anschließend gab es sogar noch ein Foto mit Urkunde, worauf unsere Tochter sehr stolz war!

Wir haben hier einen Koffer gekauft und finden: Ein Geschäft „wie früher” - und das mitten im Zentrum von Berlin! Tolle Preise, große Auswahl, exzellente Beratung plus (entgegen aller Vorurteile über Berlin) große Freundlichkeit. Die Verkäuferin hat uns mit viel Geduld die jeweiligen Vorteile der verschiedenen Kofferalternativen erläutert. Am Ende haben wir uns für einen Travelite-Koffer mit drei Jahren Garantie entschieden, der im Angebot war. Sympathischer Besitzer an der Kasse, der den Eindruck erweckt, dass hier jemand sein Geschäft mit Herzblut führt, „wie früher“ halt. Sechs Sterne! :-)

Wir haben einen Schulranzen für die Einschulung unseres Kindes gekauft. Die Beratung war, obwohl der Laden voll war und wir keinen Termin vorab gebucht haben, phänomenal. Es wurde auf die Wünsche des Kindes eingegangen, die Unterschiede verschiedener Modelle erklärt und vor allem ohne Druck verkauft. Ein Laden, den wir auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen werden. 👍

Absolute recommend. It was a relief to find this store after being lost in a sea of Schulranzen, all with different specs and measurements. The consultation made the process fun, easy, and special for my daughter. Wonderful, competent staff.

Great shop with a huge offer/variety of school bags and most importantly, a top notch service. We went with our son to get his first school bag and we left the shop very satisfied, long time we have had not had such a good customer experience. Thanks and keep it up.

The staff here are so helpful and kind. They give you space to browse but are also very knowledgeable about what items they have that will fit your needs. I left with a new backpack and luggage piece - exactly what I came in for!

Buying a school backpack in Berlin & Brandenburg

Just like choosing a satchel, picking the right school backpack deserves careful thought. For most kids, of course, looks will come first.

To find the most ergonomic fit, it helps to try on several models, and there's no better place to do that than with us at Friedrichstraße station in Berlin. Just drop by and work your way through our large selection – we're happy to help you find the school backpack that's right for you.

For exactly that kind of advice, you've come to the right place here at Das Ranzen-Kontor in Berlin – we're glad to help you track down the perfect school backpack.

Your wishes

When you come to us at Friedrichstraße station in Berlin to choose your new school backpack, the first thing we ask is what matters most to you. Are you after a particularly lightweight pack, a rather large or small one, a specific brand – or is ergonomics perhaps your top priority? Only once we've worked all of that out together do we pull a few suitable models for you. Looks stay out of it to begin with. What's important to us is first finding the model that fits you best, so your back stays well supported.

3How should your new school backpack look?

Spoilt for choice

Once we've found the right model for you, it's time for the hardest part: choosing the design and colour. Thanks to our large selection there's something for everyone – completely neutral designs as well as classic patterns for girls and boys. And for anyone who simply can't decide: some makers offer patches that attach to the backpack with a Velcro fastening, so you can switch up and vary the design whenever you like and never have to commit for good. But once you've made your choice, you're sure to get years of joy out of your new school backpack! And to make sure you start the next stage of school perfectly equipped, we also stock the matching accessories, such as gym bags, pencil cases or water bottles.

FAQ

Your top questions about buying a school bag

How many school backpack brands do you carry?

We currently stock 5 brands, including the most popular names such as Satch, Kattbjorn, Coocazoo, Deuter and Onemate. For most brands we carry several models, and for those again a range of different designs. The best thing to do is drop by Das Ranzen-Kontor in Berlin and have a look at our large selection.

Do I really need expert advice, or can I just order my new school backpack online?

Expert advice is definitely worthwhile for finding the model that, above all, suits your back best. School backpacks loaded with workbooks and textbooks often get quite heavy, so it's really important that the pack fits the back ergonomically and feels comfortable to carry.

Can't I just keep using the satchel from elementary school?

In principle, of course you can. But bear in mind that children grow enormously during their elementary school years – their satchel, on the other hand, does not. So when the move to secondary school comes around, most kids generally need a new school backpack that fits their new, bigger frame. And along the way their taste tends to change too, calling for something a bit "cooler" than the dinosaurs or unicorns that were all the rage back in first grade.

Where can I take a look at your school backpacks?

You'll find all of our models in our shop, Das Ranzen-Kontor, right by the Friedrichstraße station in Berlin. We're open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 20:00 and are happy to help you choose your new school backpack.

Can I also order my new school backpack online from you?

You can easily pre-order or reserve your favourite and then pick it up directly from us at Das Ranzen-Kontor in Berlin. Shipping isn't available at the moment. To place your order, just get in touch by email at kontakt@schulranzen-Friedrichstraße Station.de or by phone on 030 / 23 00 20 23.

Can I buy the accessories for the school backpack in your shop too?

Of course you can pick up the matching accessories for your new backpack with us as well. Many makers offer complete sets that include, say, a gym bag, a pencil case or a water bottle in the same design, so you can start the new school year perfectly equipped. And unlike buying online, here you can compare backpacks from different brands side by side: shape, feel, material, volume and colour are all there to see and touch in person. Feel free to bring along all your gear and test for yourself whether everything fits!
