About us
A good bookshop is not defined by how many books it has, but by which ones it recommends.
For many years, List Bookshop has been a destination for everyone who loves literature — a place to browse, discover, return to and recommend to others. With a comprehensive selection of German-language literature and a particular focus on French and Italian literature, we bring readers and books together. Our range is complemented by a carefully curated selection of English and Spanish books.
Our native-speaking booksellers offer personal recommendations, are passionate readers and take the time for meaningful conversations. Whether you’re looking for a new release, a timeless classic or a book you didn’t even know you were looking for, we’re always happy to help you find the right fit.
As an independent bookshop, we are deeply rooted in our local community while also embracing an international outlook. Through readings, book clubs and literary events, we create spaces for meeting and exchange — in German as well as in French and Italian. We also supply libraries, curate book displays and are always coming up with new ideas for bringing books to people.
We read. We recommend. We share our passion for literature and are delighted whenever someone leaves with the right book.
