GALERIA

Galeria Kaufhof’s story began in 1879, with a small shop in Stralsund, Germany, founded by Leonhard Tietz. It wasn’t a grand department store yet; it was a modest business selling yarns, buttons, fabrics, and wool.

But the key to where it all started, was Leonhard Tietz who first envisioned how the store would be.

They saw a massive amount of growth to be had. It all came crashing down after an attempt by the Nazi Regime.

Here are the key parts:

They lost their home to the Nazi Regime during the war but have been built again.

Nowedays they have several stores.

The precise number of stores currently operating is constantly changing.

Generally, the stores are similar. While individual store layouts and specific merchandise mixes may vary depending on location and size, they all operate under the Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof brand and offer a similar range of products, including fashion, beauty, home goods, and more.

On Sundays are stores closed.
