The Leo Center is located in the Leonberg area, which is sometimes known as the “New City Center”. After four years of construction, the Leo Center opened in 1973 and has been a central point of the city ever since. Between 1994 and 1995 the sales area was modernized and fundamentally restructured. There are 90 shops on a total of 27,000 square meters, most of which are fashion stores and the Karstadt department store . However, other well-known companies such as Saturn , Starbucks Coffee and dm are also represented. There are also pharmacies, branches of telecommunications companies, a few cafes and a large number of other shops.

construction

The shopping center consists of a ground floor and a floor above. There is also a basement that is used by Edeka and Saturn. Karstadt's integrated department store is even spread over four floors. The upper floor of the shopping center offers less floor space than the ground floor as it consists of an open atrium . Transitions were created between the two corridors on the upper floor, which are mainly used by cafes. Since 2004, around half of the shops have been rebuilt and the sales area modernized.

Infrastructure and location

The shopping center is centrally located on Neuköllner Platz in the so-called New City Center. Next to the shopping center there are two large parking garages with 1,100 parking spaces for customers. There is access to the parking garages from both sales levels, and there is also an underground passage at Edeka. Twelve bus lines stop right at the Leo Center. Leonberg train station is about a kilometer away.
