KaDeWe – STORE OPENING

ABOUT KADEWE

One of the best department stores in Germany, maybe even the world, KaDeWe is a stalwart of the Berlin shopping scene.

The store has a rich history spanning more than a century, and has always been a favorite among both locals and visitors. Opened in 1907 by Adolf Jandorf, Kaufhaus des Westens, now familiarly known as KaDeWe, is located in Tauentzienstrasse on the edge of Berlin’s west side. Built according to a spacious, modern and functional design, KaDeWe soon attracted attention due to its vast array of products.

Shoppers could meet to socialize while browsing everything from the latest fashions from Paris to an assortment of exotic fruit from the South Seas.

Tauentzienstrasse was soon the busiest shopping street in the city. The reopening of its first two floors in 1950 was seen as a symbol of a new beginning. Once more, the department store enjoyed a period of great success.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the store was expanded to 60,000 square meters, making it Europe’s largest department store.

KaDeWe, which celebrated its centenary in 2007, is still renowned for the variety of high-quality goods it carries, which include beauty, interiors and entertainment products and gourmet food, and the store continues to meet the needs of modern shoppers thanks to continual expansion and refurbishment.
