The end of an era: Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof reports bankruptcy

The closure of three Galeria branches in Berlin has caused deep grief among regular customers and residents. The end of an era not only marks the disappearance of a shopping facility, but also the loss of a beloved place for many people.

The decision to close branches in Lichtenberg, Tempelhof and Spandau led to emotional reactions in long-term Galeria customers. Gisela Rechenbach, a loyal customer for over 30 years, is indignant about the closures. According to her, Galeria was always the most obvious place for her purchases because it offered everything she needed - from clothing to cosmetics. The upcoming closure deeply regrets.

Another customer who wants to remain anonymous expressed his regret about the loss of business. Despite the trend towards online shopping, he prefers the personal shopping experience in a shop. He emphasizes his loyalty to Galeria and plans to visit the branch at Alexanderplatz in the future.

How things will go on and what effects you will have on the community remains uncertain. The center management of the Ring Center is currently conducting talks with potential tenants to fill the vacant areas. The future of the employees after the closure is also unclear because they are not allowed to make official statements.
