The Tietz department store in Wuppertal-Elberfeld is a historically significant department store building that was seized from its Jewish owners under the Nazis.
The building was designed by Wilhelm Kreis, one of the leading architects of the time, who also designed the Bismarck Tower in Wuppertal, on behalf of Leonhard Tietz AG as a multi-department store based on the French model. It was built in 1911/1912 and opened on April 24, 1912 at Neumarkt in Elberfeld . The immense variety of goods under one roof offered the population of the time a completely new shopping experience. Prior to this, a first branch existed on Herzogstrasse from 1885, which was considered Germany's first department store.
