The facade of the Galeria on Königsallee ripples with stone waves that seem to distort the light as you pass. This department store sits on the site of a former luxury hotel, the Breidenbacher Hof, which drew European royalty and artists until it fell during the Second World War. When planners rebuilt this corner in the nineteen fifties, they opted for a modern, windowless exterior designed to focus shoppers entirely on the goods displayed inside. It remains a concrete anchor for the city's commerce.
