Jena, February 23, 2026. The Familienzentrum Klex invites you to its large spring clothing market again next weekend. The established event in Fregestraße regularly attracts numerous families from across the city looking for well-preserved clothing and toys. In addition to the sustainable shopping experience, the focus is also on strengthening local family work.
Extensive Range from Baby to Adult Sizes
On Saturday, February 28, from 2 pm to 6 pm, and on Sunday, March 1, from 9 am to 12 pm, the premises of Klex will transform into a paradise for bargain hunters. The selection covers the entire needs of a family: from the smallest baby sizes to children’s and youth clothing, as well as fashion for adults and plus sizes. Furthermore, visitors can discover a wide selection of games, books, and various accessories for babies and toddlers.
To allow expectant mothers a relaxed and stress-free shopping experience away from the big crowds, a proven special regulation applies again this year: pregnant women will receive priority admission on Saturday one hour before the official opening, starting at 1 pm. Anyone wishing to sell their own sorted-out treasures had to take action in advance: selling is only possible with a previously assigned seller number. This ensures that the volunteer Klex team can guarantee a smooth process and a clear presentation of the goods on offer.
Sustainability Meets Social Commitment in the Neighborhood
Events like the clothing market at Klex capture the spirit of the times. Especially in today’s phase, where sustainability and resource conservation are increasingly becoming a social focus, second-hand markets enjoy enormous popularity. Children often grow out of their clothes so quickly that many pieces are hardly worn and can easily go for a second or third round in a new wardrobe. This not only protects the environment by avoiding textile waste but also noticeably relieves the family budget in view of continued high living costs.
The Familienzentrum Klex in the populous district of Jena-Nord once again acts as an important hub for neighborly togetherness. The facility in Fregestraße has been a permanent institution for social neighborhood work in Jena for years. Particularly pleasing for the community: ten percent of the total proceeds from the weekend flow directly into the family work of Klex. These funds help co-finance future projects, new acquisitions for playgroups, or educational offers for children and parents in Jena-Nord. Every purchase thus indirectly supports the valuable local social infrastructure.
Outlook for the Weekend
The team at the family center expects a high number of visitors again for this year’s spring market. Interested parties are recommended to plan enough time for browsing and to bring their own cloth bags or totes for transporting the acquired treasures. Since admission is completely free, the weekend is ideal for a small, resource-saving family outing.
We wish all visitors much joy in discovering, successful finds, and an all-around beautiful weekend at the Familienzentrum Klex!
