City-Center Bergedorf

City-Center Bergedorf (CCB) is a shopping center located in the Bergedorf district of Hamburg, Germany. It first opened on 1 November 1973 with a relatively modest sales area of 8,500 square meters. The complex is situated on a peninsula at the Bille river and the Bergedorfer harbor (Serrahn). A roughly 50-meter-high residential tower rises from the two-story CCB building and is visible from afar, shaping the image of Bergedorf. The CCB consists of three separate building complexes. After its opening, the center suffered from a design flaw: the escalators were initially placed in the middle of the shopping center, causing customer traffic from the Sachsentor pedestrian zone toward the train station to pass only half of the shops, leading to low revenues and vacancies. This changed in 1982 when the owner, Victoria Versicherung, relocated the escalators to the entrances and exits, secured Peek & Cloppenburg as a tenant, and changed the center manager. Since 1988, the Fundus Group from the Cologne region has owned the complex. To counter an economic downturn that began in the mid-1990s and to increase attractiveness, two new buildings were constructed as part of extensive redevelopment measures in Bergedorf's inner city. The first new building south of the old building, across Bergedorfer Straße, opened on 29 February and 6 March 2008. It features large three-story parking decks on its roof and houses a large Kaufland supermarket, three other shops, a café, and a mosque. The second new building was erected on the site of the former bus station and old parking garage. This new building, comprising 40 specialty shops, opened on 28 October 2010 with a festive program attended by Hamburg's First Mayor, doubling the CCB's sales area. The entire third floor was rented by the Bergedorf district office. Six months after the opening, the owner sold the CCB to Commerz Real Spezialfonds-Gesellschaft, a subsidiary of Commerzbank, effective 1 April 2011. The investments for renovating the old building and opening the new buildings amounted to approximately 100 million euros. Just a few months after the opening, sales figures at the CCB and surrounding shops, particularly on the Sachsentor shopping street, showed that the renovations and new buildings had noticeably revitalized Bergedorf. Criticism has been raised that the three building complexes are independent of each other, with the building south of Bergedorfer Straße not even connected to the other two by closed pedestrian tunnels or bridges. The CCB offers services such as accessibility features, clean restrooms, parking, and lockers. Its main business hours are Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 20:00.

City-Center Bergedorf opened on 1 November 1973 with a sales area of 8,500 square meters, which was relatively small compared to other shopping centers at the time. It was built on a peninsula at the Bille river and the Bergedorfer harbor (Serrahn). The associated parking garage stood on the other side of the Bille and was accessible only via a covered, glazed bridge. The escalators were initially located in the middle of the shopping center, which soon proved to be a construction error: customer traffic from the Sachsentor pedestrian zone toward the train station passed only half of the shops, resulting in low revenues for many stores and subsequent vacancies. This situation changed in 1982 when the owner, Victoria Versicherung, had the escalators moved to the entrances and exits of the CCB, secured Peek & Cloppenburg as a tenant, and changed the CCB manager. Since 1988, the Fundus Group from the Cologne region has been the owner of the complex. To halt the economic downturn that began in the mid-1990s and to increase the attractiveness of the CCB, two new buildings were constructed as part of extensive redevelopment measures in Bergedorf's inner city (the train station and central bus station were also redesigned). The first new building south of the old building, across Bergedorfer Straße, opened on 29 February and 6 March 2008. Compared to the old building, it has large dimensions with large, three-story parking decks on its roof, but houses only three additional shops, a café, and a mosque alongside a large Kaufland supermarket. The second new building was erected on the site of the former bus station and the old parking garage, which had to be demolished. This new building, comprising 40 specialty shops, opened on 28 October 2010 with an extensive festive program by Hamburg's First Mayor and doubled the CCB's sales area. The entire third floor was rented by the Bergedorf district office. Six months after the opening, the owner sold the CCB to Commerz Real Spezialfonds-Gesellschaft, a subsidiary of Commerzbank, effective 1 April 2011. The investments for the renovation of the old building and the opening of the new buildings amounted to approximately 100 million euros.
