Galeria is closing these department stores

Germany’s last major department store group, Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof, will close 16 of its 92 branches. On Saturday, insolvency administrator Stefan Denkhaus named the locations that were particularly badly affected. These include three houses each in Berlin (Ringcenter, Spandau, Tempelhof), North Rhine-Westphalia (Essen, Köln Breite Straße, Wesel) and Bavaria (Augsburg, Regensburg Neupfarrplatz, Würzburg). Chemnitz, Leonberg, Mainz, Mannheim, Oldenburg, Potsdam and Trier Fleischstrasse are also scheduled to close.
