Erstein Hospital Charity Flea Market

A flea market benefiting the Après Psy association

The Erstein Hospital Center Charity Flea Market is much more than a simple bargain-hunting event: it is a moment of solidarity and commitment. Organized in partnership with the Après Psy association, which accompanies people concerned by mental health in their recovery journey, this flea market donates all of its proceeds to this essential cause. The event takes place in the park of the Erstein Hospital Center, transformed for the occasion into a welcoming space open to the public and all visitors. Private and professional exhibitors, as well as staff and associations linked to the hospital, offer a wide variety of items: clothing, toys, dishware, books, trinkets, furniture, and decorative items.

A space dedicated to old hospital objects

One of the particularities of this charity flea market is its space dedicated to old hospital objects, a true journey through the history of medicine and psychiatry. Visitors will be able to discover instruments, furniture, documents, and everyday objects that have marked the history of the Erstein Hospital Center, a psychiatric facility founded in 1903. This memory space raises public awareness of the evolution of mental health care and hospital heritage. An original approach that makes this flea market a unique event in the Alsatian flea market landscape.

Wooden games and activities for the whole family

Beyond the bargain-hunting stalls and the heritage space, the charity flea market offers wooden games for all ages, allowing families to spend a playful moment together in the hospital park. A light food service on site allows visitors to have refreshments during their visit. The green setting of the hospital park, located in Erstein, a small town of about 10,500 inhabitants in the Bas-Rhin known for its market, Saint-Martin church, and strong Alsatian identity, offers a soothing and caring atmosphere.
