Berlin Night

What apparently started as an adventurous idea by the Berlin merchant Adolf Jandorf in 1905 surpassed all expectations when KaDeWe was opened in March 1907. As the leading department store in the country, it presented customers with an array of desirable goods from around the world - from the latest Paris fashion show looks to exotic south sea fruits. Unfortunately, like many places in Berlin, the KaDeWe was almost completely destroyed after a plane crash in the World War II. As a symbol of comeback and under frenetic jubilation of the Berlin population, the KaDeWe reopened in 1950 again. Over hundred years the “Warehouse of the West” is still appealing to local and international audience.
