Practical advice

Biberach market square

The Biberach self-image is expressed in the advertising slogan of the Biberach advertising association (retail association): "Biberach - traditionally cosmopolitan".

Nevertheless, the local population is sometimes perceived as somewhat closed by newcomers. It is not always so easy for “Northern Lights” to make contacts. However, this situation has changed somewhat in recent years, which may have its origins in the expansion of local global companies (Handtmann, Liebherr, KaVo, Boehringer Ingelheim ...). The term is common "Pure taste" ("Here tasted") or also "Price"So the Swabian expresses a certain displeasure that the person in question does not come from the immediate region.

If you need stamps quickly and don't want to walk to the "Center Filiale" of the post office at the train station and don't want to queue there, you can buy individual stamps in the small card and gift shop on Waaghausstraße.
