The main entrance of the Schadow-Arkaden

The Schadow-Arkaden are a shopping center in downtown Düsseldorf , named after the Schadowstrasse that leads past the arcades . The arcades were built by the architect Walter Brune between 1990 and 1994 and opened in 1994.

The shopping center can be reached on foot in a few minutes from the Schadowstraße U , Steinstraße / Königsallee U and Heinrich-Heine-Allee U stops . The arcades have 55 shops on two levels as well as a gastronomic area in the basement of the arcades.

The appearance looks very upscale due to the glossy granite facade and with the apparently free-floating glass cylinder at the main entrance, the arcades are also known outside of Düsseldorf. Among the tenants are u. a. Branches of companies like H&M , Starbucks , Esprit , Anson’s and Zara .

The arcades have a net sales area of ​​18,700  . Inside, like the facade, everything is made of granite. The prism dome that has crowned the arcades since 1994 is by Otto Piene .

Interior view of the Schadow Arkaden

The plan of the building is in the form of an irregular square. Four straight store routes lead to an atrium in which there are two glass elevators, a restaurant and an ice cream parlor. The entrances to the arcades are on Schadowstrasse , Berliner Allee , Blumenstrasse and on the corner of Blumenstrasse and Schadowstrasse (main entrance). The arcades also house the Theater an der Kö , a number of offices and practices as well as a fitness studio . A separate underground car park for customers is also available.

The Schadow-Arkaden is managed by Rheingrund Immobilien Verwaltungs-GmbH, a subsidiary of the Rheinische Post Mediengruppe . The press house was integrated into the construction of the shopping gallery. The local editorial staff of the Rheinische Post , Antenne Düsseldorf and the Düsseldorfer Anzeiger are located here .

In the course of the inner-city construction project Kö-Bogen , the parking garage was expanded by 262 parking spaces. In 2013 there was a debate about the need to fell trees.
