Felix Jud Buchhandlung Antiquariat und Kunsthandel is probably one of Hamburg's most traditional bookstores. The historical shop is more than just a sales outlet for books and has established itself as a cultural institution in the centre of Hamburg over the past decades.
For over 95 years, unique documents have been wandering over the sales counter in the Felix Jud bookstore. In the historic Mellin Passage, Felix Jud has been selling literature, antiquarian books and selected works of art since the beginning of the 20th century.
Bookstore
Felix Jud stands for the connection between art and literature. The literary focus is on fiction, travelogues, philosophical and historical works, books for children and young people, and special editions of classics. Readings and book presentations take place regularly in the historical rooms of the Felix Jud bookshop.
History
In 1923 the then 24-year-old Felix Jud founded his "Hamburger Bücherstube". From the very beginning, the shopping arcade was to become a place of care for good and beautiful books, publications on old and modern art and for books on philosophy. The historical bookshop has preserved this credo to this day.
As part of the 11th Long Night of Literature, the Felix Jud bookshop was honoured with the Hamburg Bookshop Prize 2024. The prize has been awarded by the Ministry of Culture and Media every two years for the past ten years to particularly committed owner-managed bookshops.
