Site/Location

The site for the center is at the heart of Oldenburg city center.

The Schlosshöfe center was designed to underpin the status of Oldenburg as a shopping location and to ensure that it can hold its own in the retail market in years and decades to come – not just against its rivals but also vis-à-vis the out-of-town retail complexes on greenfield sites. With around 160,000 inhabitants, the university town of Oldenburg is the economic, administrative and cultural center of the Weser-Ems region in the northwestern part of Lower Saxony. Oldenburg has a first-rate city center and is considered one of the most popular retail locations in northern Germany. The town scores extremely high in terms of both centrality and purchasing power. In view of the many attractions of Oldenburg as a shopping destination, the prospects for the Schlosshöfe center are excellent. The west-to-east layout of the main mall connects the center to the busy market and therefore to the city center's main shopping streets, Lange Strasse and Achternstrasse. The complex is also linked to a Galeria-Kaufhof department store with a sales area of approx. 10,000 m². Moreover, the Landessparkasse zu Oldenburg bank intends to relocate its headquarters and build a new main office on the Schlossplatz – directly adjoining the Schlosshöfe building.
