New post office in Schwäbisch Gmünd: Opening on June 11th!

Schmiedgasse, 73527 Schwäbisch Gmünd, Deutschland - in Schwäbisch Gmünd something exciting: Stefan Heckmann, known for his “Unicorn-Brixx” toy business, opens a new post office in Schmiedgasse on June 11, 2025. According to Gmünder Tagespost The opening is eagerly awaited by local citizens, especially after converting the large Post branch in the City Center into a Postbank branch at the end of October 2024.

Although there are also changes-like the recent closure of Michael Springer's post office in Bocksgasse, which had to give up after less than half a year for business reasons-Heckmann is confident. "I hope that my new branch will be a valuable addition to our business here," he explains. Fabrics for the creative activity of the neighborhood are also offered: in addition to the classic postal services, he also deals with luxury items such as collecting cards and video games and offers antiquarian books in the online shop.

new location with a proven concept

The new branch will offer the Schwäbisch Gmünders a variety of postal services. From stamps, package shipping to special services such as age testing or mobile package brands that can be printed out directly - everything is possible. In the existing post office on Hub 9, this weekend, as on Oeffungszeit.de highlighted, also provided an extensive offer, including the acceptance of international programs and prio packages.

On Monday before the official opening, the large conversion day will take place on which the branch is prepared for the operation. Heckmann plans to open packages first before the first packages are accepted and issued on June 11th. Meanwhile, the post office in Gmünd with two other locations in the Staufen kiosk in the Rems Gallery and in the magazine shop Eckert in the station building remains well positioned.

industry in change

Post and parcel services are under pressure. According to Destatis.de , these services are among the industries with the lowest merits. Full -time employees earned an average of around 2,924 euros per month in 2019 - around 1,000 euros less than the average earnings in other sectors.

With a look into the future, it remains to be seen whether the new, diverse offers from Heckmann can convince the Schwäbisch Gmünder. It is clear to him: the customers are in the top priority, and with his new concept he wants to make the post office a real attraction in the city. So we can be excited to see how the situation is developing and whether the Schwäbisch Gmünder will accept the new branch well!
