description
There are almost 50 retailers, markets and service providers in the gallery. The retail space includes an Edeka store , a Tchibo branch, a Toys “R” -Us store and an Apple mStore . A Thalia bookstore was represented until 2012. In addition, the West German Broadcasting Corporation operated its WDR Studio Wuppertal there . Outside of the retail space, there are numerous service companies , medical practices and lawyers on the upper floors . The Wuppertal sports club has been operating its official fan shop in the Rathaus Galerie since autumn 2015.
The building was erected on a previously fallow site in the north of downtown Elberfeld near the former town hall. Almost 7,000 m² of space was built over and 14,000 m² of retail space was created. A further 7600 m² are available for apartments and offices.
In addition to business operations, there are regular product and art exhibitions, sellers and collectors' markets, fundraising campaigns and Sunday shopping.
history
The gallery opened in the fall of 1994, which cost almost 100 million German marks in construction costs. In 1996 the gallery planned by the architects RKW Rhode Kellermann Wawrowsky received the prestigious European Shopping Center Award . The reasons given for this were the diverse mix of branches, the successful marketing and the innovative architecture - the planning took into account the hillside location of the property and thus created three shopping floors, all of which are accessible at ground level. In the middle of the gallery there is a large glass dome next to an arched staircase and an elevator.
In addition, the e-commerce project Online City Wuppertal has been running a retail lab in the premises of the Rathaus-Galerie since 2015 .
At the end of April 2017, the property was transferred from the Edinburgh House Group, which acquired the complex in 2005 from the founder of the Rathaus-Galerie in Wuppertal, Bernd Matthes, to the Berlin-based real estate company "Caurus".
