Elsbach & Frank, Department store in Mitte, Germany
The building at the corner of Osterstraße and Große Packhofstraße features architectural elements from the early 20th century and stands as a prominent retail structure.
Built in 1911 by architect Rudolf Friedrich, the department store initially specialized in men's and boys' clothing with an in-house tailoring workshop.
The structure represents a period of retail transformation in Germany, when large department stores became central elements of urban commerce.
The building now houses a Zara store, maintaining its retail function while preserving the original architectural features from 1911.
This department store remains the sole building in central Hanover that endured World War II air raids without substantial damage.
