The Gesundbrunnen Center is a shopping center in the Gesundbrunnen part of Berlin's Mitte district .
description
The center was opened on September 30, 1997 and is operated by ECE Projektmanagement GmbH . It is named after the district Gesundbrunnen , on the eastern edge of which the building is located. The company has a sales area of 25,000 m² and is now home to 110 shops and several restaurants. 1000 employees work in the shopping center, which has an average of 33,593 visitors per day. The total catchment area comprises 1,196,433 people. The branch mix is dominated by textiles and hardware as well as a large department store, alongside numerous small shops from different areas. In 2011, the Gesundbrunnen-Center received the quality mark for generation-friendly shopping from the German trade association , making it the first shopping center in Germany to receive this award.
Emergence
The building was built as part of the new construction of the Gesundbrunnen train station between 1995 and 1997 as part of the north cross of the Berlin rail network, after all historical buildings had been demolished. Following the guidelines of the urban development master plan from 1992 , a large shopping center was to be built in the vicinity of the station, as well as other stations along the Berlin Ringbahn .
architecture
The Hamburg architects Jost Hering and Manfred Stanek opted for a complex facing Badstrasse . When grouping the structure, the architectural design incorporated numerous elements in terms of shape and color that are reminiscent of a passenger ship . At the main entrance of the building there is a glazed tower that is supposed to symbolize the command bridge. The fact that the underground station on Badstrasse, which is still in use today, was retained and the center was banished to the "second" row from Badstrasse is due to the efforts of the City Councilor at that time, the monument authority and civic initiatives. According to various critics, the construction of a new train station building on the site will reduce the architectural upgrading of the quarter by the Gesundbrunnen Center.
Infrastructure
Due to its location at Gesundbrunnen train station, the Gesundbrunnen-Center has direct access to the bus, the underground, the S-Bahn and, since May 28, 2006, regional and long-distance transport. The parking garage belonging to the center with 1000 parking spaces can be reached via Bellermannstrasse.
