Karstadt Bremen

Karstadt Bremen is a large department store at the intersection of Obernstrasse and Sögestrasse spanning seven floors with extensive shopping areas. The building contains a food section in the basement level and multiple upper floors divided into different retail departments.

The current building was completed in 1932 and designed by architects Heinrich Wilhelm Behrens and Friedrich Neumark. This period marked the transformation of Bremen's retail center into modern department store architecture.

The store shapes the shopping district between Obernstrasse and Sögestrasse as a recognizable landmark in everyday city life. Visitors use it not only for shopping but also as a meeting point and reference location in the city center.

The store is easily accessible and located at a main street intersection in the city center. The food section in the basement level provides a practical reference point when exploring the other floors.

The building was placed under heritage protection in 2010 for its concrete frame and Ettringen tuff exterior cladding. This designation recognizes the architectural quality from the period of its construction.
