StadtCenter Düren

StadtCenter Düren is a multi-storey shopping centre located in the city centre of Düren, in the district of Düren, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It opened on 8 September 2005 after about a year of construction and provides around 17,800 square metres of commercial space across 54 shops. The centre sits roughly three minutes from Düren railway station, is served by 15 bus lines, and offers 310 parking spaces; it is directly adjacent to the C&A department store. Its construction required the demolition of several buildings and became the subject of the first citizens' initiative (Bürgerbegehren) in the city of Düren, largely because of the felling of trees, including a cedar. Although the referendum failed to stop the project, the cedar, a natural monument, was integrated into the site, and the first car park in Düren was incorporated into the StadtCenter. The opening created around 300 new jobs. Anchor tenants include Saturn (with 3,500 square metres of sales space) and H&M (2,000 square metres). The centre also hosts numerous restaurants, phone shops, a bakery, a pharmacy and other stores with a broad assortment. On weekdays it is open from 6:00 to 20:30, and on Sundays from 8:00 to 18:00 for restaurants only. The administrator is Bilfinger Real Estate, based in Neu-Isenburg am Main, and the managing director, as of 2 January 2019, is Arne Schieck. In early 2017 a fund of the Frankfurt investment company Union Investment became the new owner of StadtCenter; the previous owner, a fund managed by the CBRE group, received a purchase price of around 70 million euros. At irregular intervals, events or exhibitions are staged in the StadtCenter Düren.

StadtCenter Düren was built in the city centre of Düren, North Rhine-Westphalia, and opened on 8 September 2005 after about a year of construction. The project required the demolition of several buildings, and the most significant discussions concerned the felling of trees, notably a cedar. The tree felling and the demolition of the Protestant parish house triggered the first citizens' initiative (Bürgerbegehren) in the city of Düren, accompanied by demonstrations. After the referendum, manipulations were proven, leading in one case to a conviction by penal order (Strafbefehlsverfahren). The referendum failed to cancel the project, but the cedar, a natural monument, was integrated into the site. The first car park in Düren was incorporated into the StadtCenter. The opening created around 300 new jobs. The centre provides 17,800 square metres of commercial space and 54 shops. It is about three minutes from Düren railway station, served by 15 bus lines, and has 310 parking spaces; it is directly adjacent to the C&A department store. Anchor tenants are Saturn (3,500 square metres of sales space) and H&M (2,000 square metres).
