The story of Close Up – Your shop for pop culture & fan feeling

Launched in 1987 and always on the cutting edge: Close Up began as a mail-order business for posters and postcards – with an unbeatable advantage. Thanks to close contacts in the United Kingdom, we were able to bring posters to Germany that no one else had. This quickly grew into a thriving business with resellers, and today we are one of the leading wholesale and mail-order companies for everything that makes your fan's heart beat faster.

Whether it's films, series, music, or pop culture—our range is a true paradise for nerds, geeks, and anyone who loves something special. From posters and textiles to figurines, accessories, and stationery to wacky kitchen gadgets like mugs, glasses, cutting boards, and bottle openers—we're all about pure fun! And for that extra dose of style, we offer costumes and disguises for Mardi Gras, Halloween, and cosplay.
