The Altmarkt-Galerie Dresden is a shopping center at Webergasse 1 in Dresden . It is named after the Dresden Altmarkt , on the western long side of which it runs parallel behind the Altmarkt 13-25 building complex .

description

There are 200 shops on a sales area of ​​44,000 m², and the building also includes offices and a hotel. A total of 2,000 people are employed in the complex. The marketer and owner is ECE Projektmanagement GmbH from Hamburg , which has also planned and built large inner-city shopping centers in numerous other cities.

location

The Altmarkt-Galerie Dresden is located in the inner old town , i.e. directly in the city center of Dresden. The shopping center borders Postplatz to the southeast and extends over an area of ​​around 2.5 hectares between Antonsplatz and Wallstrasse in the west, Altmarkt and Seestrasse in the east, and Dippoldiswalder Platz and Dr.-Külz-Ring in the south . In the north, the complex is bounded by Wilsdruffer Straße.

The Altmarkt-Galerie Dresden was originally located in the “backyard” of the surrounding residential and commercial buildings. The direct passage to Wilsdruffer Straße was only established in the course of the expansion work. The Tuchmachergasse leads partly as a pedestrian area through the shopping center. The streets Scheffelgasse , Zahnsgasse , Webergasse and Herbert-Wehner-Platz are right next to the shopping center .

history

The " Lindehaus " was demolished for expansion

As early as 1993, the “urban planning concept for the reinterpretation of the historic Weber, Zahn and Scheffelgasse” received first prize. On October 19, 2004, the Saxon State Ministry for the Environment and Agriculture awarded the shopping center, which was completed in September 2002 and opened on September 18, 2002, with the first prize in the “Gardens in the City 2002-2004” competition.

As preparatory work for the extension, the demolition of the " Lindehaus " began at the beginning of 2009 . In place of the building, the new northern shopping arcade was built, which has an additional 2,900 square meters of office space and 5,300 square meters of hotel space on the upper floors. The hotel, which is operated by the Etap chain, was planned with around 200 rooms. The under monument protection standing Centrum department store at the Wilsdruffer Strasse / Old Market Square was renovated and integrated into the shopping center. The expanded Altmarkt-Galerie Dresden was inaugurated on March 31, 2011. The owner spent around 165 million euros on the construction. 18,000 square meters were added to the 26,000 square meters of retail space. The number of shops rose by 96 to around 200, creating around 800 new jobs . The gallery therefore has a usable area of ​​around 44,000 square meters. The expansion created space for suppliers of new brands that did not exist in East Germany (except Berlin) up to that point, e.g. B. an Apple store, Hollister and O'Neill . Some tenants already represented in the Altmarkt-Galerie before the expansion, such as Saturn , enlarged their sales area. Besides Saturn , anchor tenants are Rewe , Sinn , SportScheck and H&M .

building

Entrance to the Altmarkt-Galerie on Dr.-Külz-Ring

The building complex, originally consisting of three, today five blocks clad in limestone , was built according to designs by Manfred Schomers and Rainer Schürmann . Three glass passages separate the blocks from each other and provide entrances and exits. The Altmarkt-Galerie has three sales floors, an upper, a ground floor and a basement. These are connected to one another by five rotundas . These are essentially connected by a central passage.

Until the completion of the extension, the only corridor ran in a north-south direction. After the enlargement, a second corridor is now in the northern part of the building, running in an east-west direction. Before that, the passage in the northern area was a “dead end” as there was no passage to Wilsdruffer Straße.

Inputs to the Market Square Gallery are made on Dr. Külz ring to the tooth alley / Herbert Wehner Square, at Webergasse, at Wilsdruffer Street / Old Market Square (in Intecta -Warenhaus ) and at the clothier streets, or at the post office space.
