KaDeWe - meaning "Department Store of the West" - bore the name even before the Wall divided Berlin into geographically separate sectors. Founded 1907, the store was bought by Hermann Tietze in 1927, but was taken away from him by the Nazis because of his Jewish origins. Nowadays, however, KaDeWe is a shopping temple for both locals and tourists from all over the world. The food hall on the top floor is legendary and is worth a visit in itself. KaDeWe offers an incredible variety of items, but the prices are fairly hefty.
