WEKA-Karree, Cultural heritage department store in Gelsenkirchen, Germany
The WEKA-Karree building features multiple retail spaces and offices across different floors, with preserved architectural elements from its 1912 construction.
Built by architects Walter Klose and Georg Schäfer for Gebr. Alsberg AG in 1912, the store underwent expansion in 1928 before being seized during Nazi rule.
The department store contained specialized sections including an Oriental rug room and maintained a prayer room for Jewish employees before World War II.
The building currently houses the VRR branch office, a blood donation center, law firms, and various retail establishments accessible by public transportation.
The property transformed from Westfalen-Kaufhaus to WEKA-Karree while preserving its original architectural features and commercial significance in Gelsenkirchen.
