Erlangen Arcaden

Erlangen Arcaden, Shopping center in Erlangen, Germany.

Erlangen Arcaden is a shopping center on Güterhallenstraße in Erlangen with over 100 shops on three floors. Architect Hubert Kress designed a roughly 300-meter "Boulevard" under a glass roof with light wells, connecting the Loewenich Palais back to Nürnberger Straße. The west facade follows the curve of Güterhallenstraße and Nägelsbachstraße and is clad in a translucent, illuminated membrane.

Constructed between 2006 and 2007 according to architect Hubert Kress's plans, the center officially opened on September 18, 2007, following public debates about its scale.

The bus stop at the Nürnberger Straße/Güterhallenstraße junction is named Arcaden, formerly Hauptpost, and is one of the nodal points of Erlangen's city bus network. The roughly 300-metre shopping passage runs from the Loewenich'sches Palais back to Nürnberger Straße, with main entrances at the junction and opposite the Galeria Kaufhof department store on the so-called Neuer Markt.

The roughly 300-metre shopping passage has its main entrances at the Nürnberger Straße/Güterhallenstraße junction and opposite the Galeria Kaufhof department store at the Neuer Markt. The Arcaden bus stop, a hub of Erlangen's city transport, sits at that junction. The multi-storey car park holds about 650 cars and is often full at weekends.

Architect Hubert Kress of the Erlangen office KJS Architekten won the competition against four other designs, and the building was selected in 2008 for the Architektouren of the Bavarian Chamber of Architects. Its outer skin is a translucent, illuminable membrane.
