People stream through the open entrance portal of the Kaufhaus des Westens on Tauentzienstraße, on the border between the Schöneberg and Charlottenburg districts. Founded in 1907 by merchant Adolf Jandorf, the store was considered the largest department store on the European continent, with its vast sales floors shaping Berlin's consumer culture of the 1920s. Like other large department stores owned by Jewish proprietors, KaDeWe came under pressure from Nazi 'Aryanization' policies after 1933. Repeatedly rebuilt, the store remains a landmark of central Berlin to this day.
