history
At the age of 23, Hermann Dodenhof opened a small general store in Stellenfelde in 1910. Just 15 years later, he bought a commercial building in Posthausen. At that time the place was still cut off from the public transport network. Thus supplied Dodenhof its customers as a "peddler" for years with bicycle , hand truck , and horse-drawn carriage to 1952 the first truck was purchased.
In 1961 a large department store was opened. The company's 50th anniversary had already been celebrated last year. In 1975 the largest furniture store in northern Germany was opened with 10,000 m² and in 1977 a collection warehouse was inaugurated in order to offer customers the largest possible range of goods and to ensure rapid availability.
In 1983 a supermarket was opened, in 1988 a gas station with a car wash and tire center. In 1994 the new building of the fashion house was completed on four floors. In 1998 the company expanded with the establishment of a furniture store in Kaltenkirchen with a total area of 30,000 m². In 2002 the “Dodenhof Card” was introduced. In 2006 a large fashion store was opened in Kaltenkirchen. In 2008 a sports and technology store was opened, and in 2010 Dodenhof celebrated the company's hundredth anniversary in Posthausen. In 2012 the shopping center was opened with a total of 24 external shops for clothing, lifestyle and gastronomy on an additional 10,000 m². Since then, Dodenhof has been one of the largest shopping centers in Germany. In 2014 a fashion & sports outlet was opened on a sales area of 2,200 m².
Since autumn 2015, the VBN bus route 760 has been reinforced with a shuttle service from Dodenhof - Ottersberger Bahnhof to every train on the RE4 line ( metronome ). The company is now in the fourth generation of the family.
In 2018 Dodenhof announced a strategic partnership in the area of furnishing and living with the Austrian furniture chain XXXLutz . The previous furniture stores ("WohnWelten") in Posthausen and Kaltenkirchen were transferred to two new, independent companies and renamed "XXXLutz Dodenhof".
