description
In the Ernst-August-Galerie with around 30,000 square meters of retail space there are around 150 shops on three levels. Over 1,200 parking spaces are available in an integrated multi-storey car park. This makes it one of the largest shopping centers in the Hanover region . Most of the tenants of retail space are chain stores . The operator is the Hamburg-based ECE Projektmanagement . About 1,200 people are employed in the Ernst-August-Galerie.
The Ernst-August-Galerie is the 99th shopping center that the operator ECE is building. It is the seventh ECE shopping center of its kind in Lower Saxony, including the Schloss-Arkaden in Braunschweig, the City-Galerie in Wolfsburg and the Stadt-Galerie in Hameln .
The construction costs of the gallery project with a gross floor area of 107,344 square meters should have been around 230 million euros during the two-year construction period. Inside there is a 25 meter high atrium. About 50 percent of the retail space is occupied by fashion. Gifts and toys make up around 20 percent. The catering trade is represented on around 10 percent of the space, the food sector with a Rewe supermarket takes up 5 percent of the space. The largest supplier with an area of 2,000 square meters is the textile company H&M .

Monument protection
The main post office on Ernst-August-Platz and two old buildings on Kurt-Schumacher-Straße were demolished for the new building . Among them was a partially preserved widow's house from the end of the 19th century. The gallery operators rebuilt the neo-baroque style entrance portal into the outer facade of the gallery near its original location.
Energy saving measures
During the construction, attention was paid to environmental friendliness through energy-saving measures. With natural ventilation, there is no need for electrical cooling. Escalators are controlled according to customer traffic and switched off automatically. A 2,000 square meter solar system was installed on the roof .
public perception
Critics criticize the lack of long-term analyzes that deal with the effects on classic retail locations in the inner and old town. Since chain stores predominate, real specialist stores from Hanover are underrepresented. With 43 out of 150 shops, almost a third are run by Hanoverians, but in relation to the floor space it is less than a sixth Hanoverian owners. Architecturally, according to the opinion of many experts, an "interchangeable department store architecture" was created without any recognizable urban accent, although the city had announced a competition.
The building, on the other hand, has received two awards: In 2009 it received the DGNB gold seal and the MAPIC award in the sustainable retail property development category.
In February 2014, a 55-year-old woman fell to her death from a gallery on the third floor.
