Alexanderplatz is one of the most famous squares in Berlin as well as the largest in Germany. And it’s always been a huge shopping magnet. The first shopping facilities opened up here as far back as the 19th century. Since the 1960s, the whole square has been a pedestrian precinct, while gaining in the process the former Centrum Warenhaus and the Alex Passages. After the Berlin Wall came down, the Centrum Warenhaus was converted into the modern Galeria Kaufhof. In 2007, the Alexa Shopping Centre with its 180 shops and 17 restaurants was opened, followed two years later by its Die Mitte counterpart. So at Alex now there’s nothing more that isn’t there!
