The Danube shopping center (DEZ) is located in Regensburg north of the Danube in the Weichs district . It was built in 1967 by Johann Vielberth as the first fully air-conditioned, two-story shopping center in Europe and when it opened it was the first large shopping center in Bavaria ; it has been expanded several times since then. With the Main-Taunus-Zentrum opened in 1964, it is considered a “pioneer” of shopping centers in Germany and is one of the largest German shopping centers .
Today it houses more than 135 retail and service companies on a rental area of 82,000 m² (102,000 m² property area, 55,000 m² sales area) and employs around 1,800 people. It counts around 30,000 visitors a day, for whom over 3,000 free parking spaces are available, and, along with the old town, represents the most important retail location in Regensburg. Seven large-format paintings by the artist Willi Ulfig are integrated into the functionality of the shopping center.
