Kaufhaus Michel, Department store in Elberfeld, Germany.
The Kaufhaus Michel building features steel skeleton construction with large window bands wrapping around its corners at Wall street numbers 15 through 21.
The department store, constructed between 1929 and 1930, was designed by architect Emil Fahrenkamp in collaboration with department store specialist Georg Schäfer.
The structure represents a transition from early 1900s consumption spaces to modern retail layouts, focusing on customer orientation and effective merchandise presentation.
Following extensive renovations in 1999 that removed aluminum cladding from the 1970s, the building now operates under the name Haus Fahrenkamp.
The building's nighttime appearance incorporates illuminated window bands, an entrance canopy with lights, and vertical light panels that enhance its street presence.
