Avenida Hindenburg & Fernheim Cooperative
Avenida Hindenburg
Filadelfia's main street, with neat German-style streetscapes, a Fernheim cooperative supermarket and a dairy shop, offering a glimpse of daily life in the Mennonite community.
Avenida Hindenburg is the central axis of the colony. The Fernheim Cooperative runs a supermarket, bank and dairy factory here, making it the economic heart of the town. In the supermarket, you can buy local Co-op cheese, yoghurt, ice cream and German-style sausage bread. Along the street are the Freedom Gate monument, a 'Faith, Unity, Labour' memorial and a memorial park. It is scorching hot during the day, shops often close at midday, and almost everything shuts on Sundays.
Opening hours
Shops approx. 07:00–11:30, 14:30–18:30; closed Sundays
