Capitol Art
Here is the ultimate must-see for Berlin-Schöneberg: just a stone’s throw from the niu Dwarf you can find the museum for contemporary and urban art.
This department store went above and beyond even on its opening day on March 27th 1907. It is a giant of its own kind, towering over Wittenbergplatz in Berlin. It drew the gaze of the rich, and of those who were stunned to see this much opulence and glamour. There is something about it, the infamous „Kaufhaus des Westens“ (literally: „department store of the West“), which the Berlin locals lovingly dubbed the „KaDeWe“. Even today—with the store having moved into the mainstream and far from being an insider tip—it is worth a visit, for many reasons.
Let’s be clear: There is nothing out there that you can’t find in KaDeWe. If you are in Berlin and you are looking for that special something, this is the place to be. And the best thing: it is just around the corner from the niu Dwarf. Are you looking for a luxurious handbag or sunglasses, trying them out in front of the mirror Audrey Hepburn style? Would you like to taste the culinary specialties and highly praised assortments? Looking for special deals? Strolling down the aisles, looking at the stunning displays? Then get to KaDeWe!
Do you know about that little bit extra? No, nothing like that … our extra special recommendation about the KaDeWe. They offer a lot of special services, which are great to have. Need to exchange currency? No problem. Keep your luggage? Sure thing. Get a beauty treatment? We got you. Tailor’s services (shirts, suits, dresses made to measure)? Of course. Personal shopping service? Amazing! Just let them know your style and budget and the personal shopper will create your own look while you sip on champagne and wait.
