German Village
COURTESY OF GERMAN VILLAGE
Located just south of downtown, Columbus’ German Village neighborhood is known for its architecture dating back to the 1800s. The neighborhood prides itself on its historic character and charm as well as longtime businesses that are beloved local landmarks. Offering the feel of a small village just outside the bustle of downtown, the cobblestone streets, historic buildings and well-cared-for homes make the neighborhood a delight to explore. Book lovers will lose themselves in The Book Loft, one of the nation’s largest independent bookstores, where shoppers can roam 32 rooms as they browse the wonderfully curated selection. Helen Winnemore’s, part of the neighborhood since 1938, focuses on works by American artisans, and the Red Stable offers souvenirs and gifts. Favorite spots to grab a bite to eat in the neighborhood include Schmidt’s Restaurant Und Sausage Haus, known for German favorites and pillowy cream puffs, as well as Katzinger’s Delicatessen, a New York-style deli that offers a wide selection of sandwiches, many named after notable people who have stopped in over the years.
