Our History
Uhren-Eck Carina Thaler has been trading from the same spot in Passau's historic old town for 36 years. Over three decades, this small specialist shop has grown here — with skilled craftsmanship, a genuine passion for watches, and a style of personal advice that has become rare in today's retail landscape.
Over the years, we have built a reputation as a reliable point of contact for watch enthusiasts and first-time buyers alike. Our range runs from affordable fashion watches for men and women through water-resistant everyday watches to wall and pocket watches — alongside straps, batteries and spare parts for repairs.
The history of the shop is closely intertwined with the history of Passau's old town — a quarter shaped by the Danube and given its particular character by the river. Uhren-Eck is part of this story, and carries it forward with pride.
Our Family-Run Business
Uhren-Eck is a family business: Carina Thaler runs the shop together with her parents. Three experienced people, one shared style — whether you're choosing a new watch, having a battery replaced or handing in a tricky repair, you'll always meet a familiar face.
This personal approach is what sets us apart from larger retailers, and it's what has kept our regular customers loyal for decades. People who buy from us get advice — not a sales pitch. And people who bring in a repair get an honest assessment of whether the work is worthwhile.
Our Location on the Danube
Uhren-Eck Carina Thaler is situated at Bratfischwinkel 12, in the heart of Passau's historic old town. The Bratfischwinkel is just a few steps from the Obere Donaulände — one of the most beautiful stretches of the Danube riverbank, which gives the old town much of its distinctive character.
The location in the old town centre makes the shop easily accessible for residents and visitors to Passau alike. The neighbourhood around Bratfischwinkel is one of the most characterful corners of the city — defined by narrow lanes, historic architecture, and the ever-present proximity of the Danube.
