Hi,
I just know Kircher-Modellshop near Frankfurt in Heusenstamm. But you need a car or the train to visite his shop. for more information look here:

Kircher-modellshop

Direct inside the city I don´t know a shop with Herpa Wings.
Greetings

There is a big store at the airport in Terminal 1 (arrival)
but I don´t know the name, sorry.

Re: any stores in frankfurt?
 

Kircher-modellshop is the best but there is also a hobby shop (with Herpa planes) in downtown, at the end of the pedestrian area. Have a great time in FRA!

P.S. If I could suggest you where to sleep in Frankfurt I'd tell you Villa Orange, it's very nice!

Re: any stores in frankfurt?
 

There was a shop in the city (near Römer), but it hasn't got herpa wings anymore. I guess Kircher is the only adress left near Frankfurt, the "Fluggi"-Shop in Terminal 1 is closed as long as the visitor's terrace is closed as well. There was a book and newspaper store that had very few herpa wings, but I'm not sure, if it is there anymore.

On Herpa´s homepage you can find a retailer database & eXtra Shop database:

Check this link:
HERPA Miniaturmodelle GmbH - Online - RETAILER LIST

and this link to Herpas extra retailer in Heusenstamm (including a link how to find it).
If you intend to go there, please check his homepage: Kircher-modellshop
Normally its opened only on Thursday and Friday afternoon and on saturday. You can find the actual opening hours on the homepage.

In the arrival hall of Terminal 1 hall B there is a shop selling herpa models.
Check this link: Frankfurt Airport City - Relay Aviation

There should be a Lufthansa World Store shop at the airport too, but I don´t know, where its located, but most probably in Terminal 1, section A. They should have the Lufthansa World Shop models.
Just found information:

Hope that helps a bit.

I visited the airport store last year and I can say to you that worth the visit. Gret selection of books and Herpa models. You&#180;re gonna stay there for a couple of hours for sure.

Re: any stores in frankfurt?
 

The Airport Shop is really good! They've got all scales and accesoires!

The Shop in Heusenstamm (Kirchner) is also good!

Shops in Frankfurt??? Difficult but not impossible.

From a big (aviation) city like Frankfurt you'd expect more, but it seems the internet killed most of the local dealers. In the last 2 years several good places have vanished forever.

What you can try is the following:

Airport, Terminal 1, Arrival Level, Section B - an aviation related book store with videos, magazines and models. Most of the times they laos carry something a bit "special".

Airport, Terminal 1, Departure Level, Section A - the Lufthansa Worldshop, which usually carries most of the LH special releases, like the Soccer-Nose-Planes for the World Cup 2006. They also have often something on sale, like the Soccer Nose A340 for 12,- Euro or the latest "open-nose" B747-200F for 15,- Euro.

City, Kurt-Schumacher-Str., near "Konstablerwache" (major place in downtown Frankfurt). Mostly a train store, but some Herpa Wings in the (smaller) back room. Nothing special.

Outside the City, Heusenstamm (suburb), Frankfurter Str. - Kircher Modellshop. The place to go in the Rhein Main area for wings. Has all major brands for 1/500 collectors and always carries something special at reasonable prices. You can get there for example from "Konstablerwache" by taking suburbian train "S2" in direction of "Dietzenbach" to "Heusenstamm". Exit the train and walk into the direction of the train until you can cross the tracks to the left. Walking straight now you already are in the "Frankfurter Strasse". The shops is halfway down the road on the left side in the back. Once you walk past a bakery shop called Bauder, it's the next entry. Triptime by train and walking about 20 Minutes. But careful, the shop only opens Thursday and Friday afternoon and Saturdays. Better check the actual times on the webiste before going on the trip. Kircher-modellshop

The Relay shop in arrival hall A T1 does not stock planes any more

Re: any stores in frankfurt?
 

hello please someone tell me that ,is there any shops left in Frankfurt main terminal 1.

http://www.frankfurt-airport.com/content/frankfurt_airport/en/shop_enjoy0/shops/books_press/k_bookstore.html

There are also two LH Worldshop outlets, but they are overpriced (except exclusives and special offers).

Note all of this is landside.

Edit: If you have a bit more time, try Kircher Modellshop (45 min by bus). www.kircher-modellshop.de. Markus (the owner) has a day job which often takes him to the airport, so if you know what you want, you might be able to arrange a meeting with him at the airport through e-mail. He's a very friendly guy.

Shops in Frankfurt / Main Germany
 

Hello,

I will visit Frankfurt Airport next week, so I'd like to ask you about good shops at Frankfurt Airport oder Frankfurt City.

Is there anything worth to know?

I 'll be happy for some advice from you guys.

Kind regards

Christian

Re: Shops in Frankfurt / Main Germany
 

When I go to Frankfurt I always visit the shop in the Karlstraße 12 which is almost just across the street from the mainstation. He always has the newest models and a few on sale. So I think its worth.

Here is the link: Herpa Händlerhomepage

Have fun shopping and show us your results.
