Where did the first head shop open in Germany?

The first head shop in Germany was actually opened in May 1968 in Frankfurt am Main. It was the “Heidi Loves You Shop” by Paul-Gerhard Hübsch.

Unfortunately, the store's existence was short-lived. In September of the same year, just a few months after opening, the shop was closed again following a police raid.
This first German head shop followed the trend that had begun in the USA in the 1960s, where the first head shops had emerged as part of the hippie movement.

Hippie culture played a central role in the emergence and spread of head shops:

Origin in the 1960s: head shops emerged in the 1960s directly from the hippie culture in San Francisco.

Counterculture and alternative lifestyle: Head shops were deeply rooted in counterculture discourses and beliefs, reflecting the anti-capitalist ethic and consciousness-expanding quest of the hippie movement.

Naming: The term “head shop” itself is derived from self-designations of the hippie culture, such as “pot head” or “acid head”.

First locations: The first head shops were located in the hippie district of Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco before they spread further afield.

Products and aesthetics: Head shops sold products associated with hippie culture, such as psychedelic posters, smoking accessories, and reggae music.

Ideological background: Many early head shop owners were part of local hippie communities and saw their shops as a contribution to liberation and consciousness expansion.

Spread: From San Francisco, head shops quickly spread across the United States and eventually reached Europe, reflecting the global spread of hippie culture.

The hippie movement created the cultural and ideological framework from which head shops emerged and developed.
