Berlin would be unimaginable without the Departament Store of the West (Kaufhaus des Westens). The largest department store on the European continent is more than a well-stocked shopping paradise: KaDeWe is a legend.

A visit to the grocery store and delicatessen on the top floor should not be missed. This is where well-to-do Berliners can be seen feasting on champagne and oysters.

The success of this department store was not foreseeable when it opened on Wittenbergplatz in 1907. The architect Emil Schaudt designed the building at Tauentzienstrasse 21?24 to fit the architecture of the nearby middle class residential neighborhood. But with the KaDeWe, the Tauentzien rapidly developed into an important shopping mile.

In 1929 two more floors were added to the five-story department store. The KaDeWe was again extensively enlarged in the nineties and an impressive rooftop with a winter garden was added.
