Rewe provides the doors of its branches with different colored strips.

However, this is not just about decoration.

The ribbons have their uses for the corporation and the police.

Munich – No bargain is hidden from attentive customers in the supermarket.

However, particularly attentive customers make other discoveries on their shopping tours – possibly also away from the shelves filled with the products.

You might also notice a ribbon on the door at the entrance and exit.

For example in Rewe branches.

The ominous bar is mounted vertically and comes in different colors.

From top to bottom in green, yellow, black and red.

Because quite a few customers are asking themselves: what's the point?

Could this be art?

The color ribbon is also the subject of lively discussion on the Reddit social media platform, whose content is provided by users with their posts.
