Description of the mall
The Tempelhofer Hafen was opened on April 29, 2009 and has been operated by ECE Projektmanagement GmbH since 2014 . This puts the total catchment area of the shopping center at 214,204 inhabitants. 21,000 m² of retail space is distributed over two levels and houses 70 shops. Textiles, food and hardware dominate the branch mix of the center, which is visited by around 16,500 people every day. An integrated doctor and office building is located on 5,000 m². The entire area covers a total of 45,000 m², a third of which is the water area of the harbor basin. There are several catering and event areas right by and on the water, and there is also a fitness studio, an indoor playground and a number of other leisure activities in the Tempelhofer Hafen.
History and architecture
The listed architecture of the old inland port, which was built on the Teltow Canal between 1901 and 1908, serves as the backdrop for the shopping center . The storage building of the port was one of the first reinforced concrete buildings in Germany, its facade consisted of tuff stone, basalt lava and half-timbered. A separate railway connection and large portal cranes were used for the storage of shipments, which were attached to the long side of the storage facility and can still be seen in part in the shopping mall's street today. After extensive destruction in the Second World War , the reconstruction of the port facility began in 1951 and the warehouse was used to store Senate reserves until 1990 - in the event of a possible second Berlin blockade . In the decades that followed, a number of businesses settled on the port area, but a large part of the storage building was empty.
In 2006, the Tempelhof-Schöneberg District Office carried out an expert opinion in order to obtain new design and usage proposals for the area and thereby achieve a site upgrade. In May 2007 the foundation stone for the shopping center was finally laid. The condition was to preserve the overall appearance of the old, listed port. Therefore, the existing port facilities and the storage building were refurbished and technical details such as the crane systems were reconstructed. The donors HLG and IKB Deutsche Industriebank invested more than 100 million euros in the renovation and restoration work . Today the Tempelhofer Hafen represents a combination of historical buildings with modern architecture and use.
Infrastructure
The Tempelhofer Hafen can be reached with the underground line U6 or with bus lines . The city center can be reached by car via the A 100 or the B 96 . Since it is located directly on the Teltow Canal and has 40 boat berths, it can also be approached from the water. There are a total of 590 parking spaces for cars; the parking garage can be accessed via Ordensmeisterstraße.
criticism
Residents criticize the design of a new building in Tempelhof Harbor because they have been looking at a gray facade since it was built, which, in contrast to the restored buildings, was kept very simple. In addition, small businesses had to give up their location directly on the harbor basin in favor of the shopping center.
