The Weißeritz Park is a shopping center in Freitaler district Hainberg (village Coßmannsdorf ). With around 100,000 m² of floor space and around 2.3 million visitors per year, it is one of the largest leisure and shopping parks in the southern Dresden area. The plant got its name from the Rote Weißeritz , which flows in the immediate vicinity of the complex.
offer
The shopping area has 22,000 m² of rental space and 65 retail spaces that are almost completely let. There are 170 parking spaces in front of and behind the building. The anchor tenants include Kaufland , MediMax and C&A . There is also the Hains leisure center , which is owned by the city, with a swimming pool, adventure sauna, fitness and aerobics center, bowling and ice skating rink, which can be used for indoor tennis in summer.
architecture
An architectural specialty of the Weißeritz-Park are its over 100 year old buildings directly on the historic steam train line Weißeritztalbahn . Before it was converted into a shopping center, the complex was one of three former production facilities of the Leipziger Buntgarnwerke. In the middle of the shopping mall there is a pyramid-shaped light window in the roof. In the area below, the events take place in the Weißeritz Park.
history
In 1992 the Leipziger Buntgarnwerke GmbH, which used the complex, was privatized and production was relocated to the Czech Republic. The renovation and reconstruction of the halls began in the same year. The shopping park was opened in 1994, at that time under the name "Buga-Center" , whose name is derived from "Buntgarnwerke". The first owner was the Erste Lilienstein management company. In 1998 the “Hains” leisure center was opened after renovation and expansion. On this occasion, the area from Hains and Buga-Center was renamed "Weißeritz-Park".
During the floods in 2002 the Rote Weißeritz caused a lot of damage to the park. These were repaired after three months of renovation and the center was able to reopen. In the following years, a part of the Weißeritz Park was renovated and converted and a new building with two additional retail spaces was opened. In 2007 the complex was sold to a company from Luxembourg .
In 2011 the investment company Catalyst Capital from London acquired Weißeritz-Park. An expansion and renovation of the complex has been planned since September 2011. On November 12, 2012, work on expanding the center began with the demolition of parking areas in the south of the site. To compensate for the lost parking spaces due to the new building, the former restaurant Zur Spinnerei at the rear entrance of the Weißeritz Park was demolished. New parking areas were created there. At the end of August 2013, work on the extension in which the fashion chain C&A opened was completed.
traffic
The Weißeritz-Park can be reached via two stops of the Freitaler city bus line A of the regional traffic Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains at the main entrance and at the “Hains” as well as via the “Freital-Coßmannsdorf” stop of the Weißeritztalbahn. A well-developed road leads to the parking areas.
Events and offers
Events are held regularly in Weißeritz-Park, such as music shows or school induction campaigns. The free center magazine "Weißeritz-Park live" is also published every month, which reports on the latest in the Hains leisure center or in the Weißeritzpark.
