history

After the fall of the Wall and the reunification , the Wildaus municipal council looked for investors to build a shopping center in order to secure and improve the economic situation of the municipality. Wildau then came into contact with a company from Münster , which the local council granted approval for the construction of the shopping center.

In 1995 a hardware store and the discount area of ​​the center opened, and a petrol station was also built. The shopping center was fully opened a year later. In 1999 a leisure center with cinemas, restaurants and a bowling center was added. In the next few years, the existing substance was expanded slightly, for example the furniture store was rebuilt in 2000 and the 'Technikwelt' opened in 2005. As early as 2003, the shopping and leisure center was connected to a boulevard.

Between 2008 and 2011, the owners undertook an extensive expansion and modernization of the A10 Center to create the 'A10 Triangle'. The largest construction project was the erection of a triangular extension on the southern edge of the center on the former parking lot with space for around 70 additional shops. The main entrance was moved to this part of the shopping center and has since been located at the southern 'tip' of the triangle. Delays in construction resulted from the insolvency of the owner company. The A10 Center was then sold to ECE Projektmanagement for around EUR 265 million after a tender . The purchase also had German Euro Shop AG promoted from Hamburg.

Currently (as of spring 2013) around 200 specialist shops, restaurants and service companies are located on around 66,000 square meters of retail space. However, the center is also often used for trade fairs, job fairs and cultural events.

Architecture of the building complex

The Lohmann architects and the 'Phase 2 architecture' team had laid the foundations for the most recent expansion and renovation by 2010. Knud Jensen and his colleagues from Nordwalde came up with suggestions for the interior design . The most striking thing is an ellipse floating above the central south entrance area , which is intended to symbolically represent streets of Berlin.

Transport links

The A10 Center can be reached by car via the southern Berliner Ring A 10 , the Königs Wusterhausen junction, and is in the immediate vicinity of Berlin Brandenburg Airport . The B 179 also passes nearby. The parking spaces can be used free of charge. Bus lines serve the A10 center from the Wildau and Königs Wusterhausen train stations every 20 minutes.

In the future, a small railway line could be created that will connect the A10 Center with Wildau, Königs Wusterhausen and the Funkerberg for tourism.
