57 Jahre Handarbeiten Müller in Detmold: Warum Stricken wieder modern wird | Sabine Koerner

Handicrafts have been experiencing a remarkable renaissance for several years now. Knitting, crocheting, and creative handicrafts are no longer just traditional hobbies, but have become a conscious counterpoint to the digital acceleration of everyday life for many people. In this episode of "mein detmold – der Stadtpodcast" (my detmold – the city podcast), Tom Fluegge and Ann-Christin Lüersen speak with Sabine Koerner von Gustorf, owner of Handarbeiten Müller (Müller Handicrafts) on Krumme Straße. This long-established specialty shop has been in business since 1969 and is now run by the second generation. The conversation covers the history of the shop, the development of handicraft culture, changing gender roles, sustainability, fast fashion, and why small, owner-operated businesses are indispensable for a vibrant city center. Sabine Koerner talks about her return to Detmold from Berlin, about men knitting in the 1980s, about generational knowledge being passed down, and about why handicrafts help many people find peace and quiet today. An episode about wool – and at the same time about community, city life, and social change. 🎙️ Guest: Sabine Koerner von Gustorf Handarbeiten Müller, Detmold 🌐 Podcast: https://meindetmold-podcast.de 📍 Produced on behalf of the Detmold business association "Die Händler" and supported by the InZukunft Detmold project. 📍 00:00 Intro & Welcome 01:18 The Story of Handarbeiten Müller 04:58 How Sabine Got into Knitting 07:09 Knitting Then and Now 08:53 The Shop Window Time Travel 12:13 Handcrafts Connect Generations 15:18 Why Handcrafts Were Long Underestimated 18:19 What Specialty Shops Offer Today 22:17 Corona and the Renaissance of Knitting 23:13 Handcrafts as a Counterpoint to the Digital World 26:01 Fast Fashion and Appreciation 28:22 Sustainability, Animal Welfare, and Materials 31:01 The Shop as a City Meeting Place 34:18 Community, Knitting Classes, and Encounters 37:16 What City Centers Really Need 39:39 Young Ideas for Detmold 43:28 Closing Remarks ------------------------------------------ ✅ Web: https://www.die-haendler-detmold.de ✅ Instagram:   / diehaendlerdetmold   "My Detmold – The City Podcast" is a production of bildwort – Atelier für Kommunikation, commissioned by the Detmold business association "Die Händler" and in cooperation with InZukunft Detmold.
