Comeback: first new department store location in decades
Gropius Passagen: Karstadt further expands store network in Berlin

On 25 October 2018, Karstadt is opening its new department store in the Gropius Passagen in Berlin and thus driving forward its further development. The new store was tailored precisely to the local requirements in its size and design. Karstadt signed a long-term lease for the new store. Together with the store opening in 2019/20 in Berlin-Tegel, the Karstadt store network in Berlin is growing to nine department stores.

Karstadt to expand further: Second new Berlin department store to open in the Gropius Passagen

In autumn 2018, Karstadt will open a new department store in the Gropius Passagen in Berlin. For its future store, the department store group has signed a long-term lease with the capital’s biggest shopping centre, which, as part of a joint venture with TH Real Estate, belongs to the portfolio of Unibail-Rodamco Germany and is also run by the company itself. Karstadt will, to all intents and purposes, be moving into the space that, until the summer of last year, was occupied by Galeria Kaufhof. This means that, together with another newly planned store in Berlin’s Tegel district, two new Karstadt stores will be opening this year in Berlin.
