The Thier-Galerie is a shopping center in Dortmund . It is located in the southwest of the city center on the area of the former Dortmund Thier brewery and is operated by the Hamburg company ECE Projektmanagement . The gallery is connected to the Westenhellweg , one of the busiest shopping streets in Germany. The shopping center has 35,000 visitors every day, with a peak of up to 90,000 (on Advent Saturdays). The total catchment area amounts to 2.3 million people.
The sales area with 160 shops extends over 33,000 square meters (plus 4,800 square meters for offices and practices) and is therefore a medium-sized shopping center . Around 1,000 people are employed here.
prehistory
Over a period of more than 15 years, the withdrawal of the Dortmund Thier brewery resulted in 22,000 square meters of fallow land in the city center within the Wallring, flanked by the two existing buildings Brinkmannhaus and the former Thier administration building . A well-developed bar and disco scene existed on this area with a large catchment area extending into the Dortmund area. As early as 1994 there were initial planning considerations for a new development of the Thier area. An investor wanted to build an adventure center here. However, this plan was soon discarded. After the project developer and the city of Dortmund agreed in 2008 on an appropriate number of sales areas compatible with the Westenhellweg shopping street, the last tenants moved out of the Brinkmannhaus at the end of August 2009. By December 2009 it was torn down and the entire area prepared for the new building.
shopping mall
The sales area is spread over three and a half sales levels. The cost of the project is estimated at 300 million euros. There are several parking levels above the sales area with 730 parking spaces on the third, fourth and fifth floors.
location
The Thier-Galerie shopping center is located in the south-western area of Dortmund city center, between Westenhellweg, Hohen Wall, Martinstrasse and Brinkoffstrasse. Nearby are, among other things, the Dortmund main station , the Dortmund theater and a connection to the Westenhellweg and Hansaplatz . The area borders on the following streets: Martinstraße, Potgasse, Silberstraße, Hövelstraße and the Hohen Wall.
Connection
The shopping center can be reached by tram at the Kampstraße , Reinoldikirche , Westentor or Stadtgarten stops on the U41, U42, U43, U44, U45, U46, U47, U49 lines. With the S-Bahn lines S1, S2, S4, S5 the shopping center with the train stations Hauptbahnhof and Stadthaus can be found, as well as with the bus line 444 and the night express NE7 (stop Martinstraße / Thier-Galerie ). There are also 730 parking spaces in the Thier-Galerie.
architecture
Only the former administration building of the brewery was completely preserved, the former Brinkmannhaus on Westenhellweg was completely demolished, but was reconstructed true to detail and with a new outdoor terrace. A special architectural feature of the Thier-Galerie is the house-in-house concept. A free-standing triangular building was erected in the middle of the building complex, which is connected to the other parts of the building by bridges. The shopping center is designed with nine floors and includes two basement floors, the ground floor and a total of six upper floors with the attic, and there is also a large outdoor terrace. The entrances are on Hohen Wall, Silberstraße and Westenhellweg. In 2012, the center received the Across Award as the most innovative new shopping center.
The access to the parking decks and the delivery takes place via a ramp system in Hövelstrasse and Martinstrasse. There is an additional, smaller delivery area in Potgasse. The expansion of the Grafenhof and Hövelstrasse, a roundabout at the connection between Martinstrasse and Silberstrasse and another roundabout in the Kolpingstrasse / Hövelstrasse area were built as traffic reconstruction measures.
