Kaufhaus des Westens (abbreviated to KaDeWe) is a German department store in the center of Berlin. It is located on Tauentzienstraße in the Schöneberg district, the building was designed by the architect Johann Emil Schaudt. The name Kaufhaus des Westens (Department Store of the West) refers to its location west of the historic inner city, in an area where a new commercial and entertainment center emerged from the early twentieth century. During the cold war division of Berlin, the west part of the name naturally also acquired a political connotation. (Source: wiki)

 

The top floor of the KADeWe, the Feinschmeckeretage with its wintergarden (a 1000 seat restaurant), on display here, was added in the 90s. The Feinschmeckeretage is, by the way, remarkable - we were lookin' for Corsican Brocciu and we found it there.

 

This is number 94 of the Berlin album.
