history

The construction of the first shopping center of this kind in Essen, with more than 50 stores under one roof, coincided with the time when structural change began in the industrial north of Essen, to which Altenessen belongs. The last large coal mines in the district, such as the United Helene & Amalie colliery (1965) and the Fritz-Heinrich colliery (1973) , closed by the opening year . In the resulting economically difficult time, the shopping center contributed to the formation of a new center in Altenessen.

The shopping center was first expanded in 1978. Ten years later it was modernized, adding a glass elevator. In 1999 a glass roof was installed. In 2000, the shopping center was given today's round main entrance facade and was renamed from Altenessen shopping center to Allee-Center . From 2010 to June 2012 the shopping center was rebuilt for around 28 million euros. The reason was that around 10,000 square meters of space were vacated by the previous anchor tenant Hertie , who had already been taken over by Karstadt and withdrew from the center. The company MBN Bau was involved in this expansion .
