Warenhaus Potsdam, Department store in central Potsdam, Germany.
The Warenhaus Potsdam occupies a prominent corner location on Brandenburger Street, featuring a simplified facade design from 1937 and a preserved central light court.
The building, constructed in 1905 as F. Schwarz department store, underwent multiple ownership changes before becoming part of the Karstadt chain in 1929.
The structure reflects the architectural transformations of German retail spaces, from its grand early 20th-century design to modifications during different political periods.
The building now operates as Karstadt department store within the Stadtpalais Potsdam complex, following a 50 million euro renovation completed in 2005.
The department store survived changing retail landscapes, political systems, and architectural styles while maintaining its original function for over 115 years.
