A visit to … Radaddel

I have been in touch with Radaddel since 2008. At that time, they were one of the first advertising partners on my old portal. Over the years, I visited the shop several times, for example for the open day or the inauguration of the new shop premises. In mid-2022, Matthias and Simone handed over the reins to Dominik. He relocated the shop and the logistics of the online shop from Rudolstadt to Großweil. It was time for me to take a look for myself, which I did during my holiday in southern Germany.

Radaddel is one of the largest tabletop shops in Germany. In addition to the Games Workshop range, the shop also stocks products from Warlord Games, Asmodee and board games. The very wide range of paints, tools and other accessories is particularly noteworthy. Radaddel not only supplies end customers, but is also a reliable contact for resellers as a wholesaler via Tabletop Depot.

Großweil is located about an hour south of Munich near Murnau am Staffelsee. There, Radaddel has moved into the spacious upper floor of a timber merchant's premises. In addition to plenty of space for the shop, there is also a generous selection of gaming tables (I think the last time I saw such a spacious venue was at Maelstrom Games 15 years ago). These are frequently in use, as can be seen on the Instagram channel. Radaddel is a partner of STC Oberland, Würfel-Rüpeln and Level Zero Heroes, among others, who hold their various events there. At the end of November, a Bolt Action tournament will also take place.

We were particularly lucky to be allowed to take a look behind the scenes on their day off. The shop is actually closed to the public on Wednesdays, but Dominik made an exception for me.

Right behind the gaming tables is the shop area, where you can stock up on miniatures, dice and all kinds of accessories – from glue and brushes to base decoration – from a wide range of manufacturers.

This also includes a well-organised online shop area. Everything really works hand in hand here. That's always a big plus for me when I order from Radaddel: I can clearly see which products are in stock and, as long as I don't order too late during the day, I usually have my order in my letterbox the next day.

In addition to the open game boards, there are also some designed boards and displays, such as this 40k game table with bastion or the snow table with forest. I also really liked the ‘Four Seasons’ display from Star Wars Legion, which shows the different eras of the game.

And, of course, a shop also needs painted models. That's why there are several display cases here with great exhibits from different game systems to marvel at.

At this point, I would like to thank Dominik once again for his hospitality. I feel that I am in good hands as a hobbyist under the new management at Radaddel and enjoyed visiting you!

The shop is open Monday to Friday – except Wednesdays – from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. On Saturdays, Dominik and his team are there for you from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. without interruption. The online shop is, of course, open around the clock, and you can also have your purchases delivered to Switzerland or Austria, among other places.

There is now also a branch in Augsburg, as Pasch Spiele becomes Radaddel Augsburg.
