As the SZ wants to know, the locations that are to be closed include department stores in Bayreuth, Chemnitz, Cottbus, Göttingen, Kiel, Landshut, Lörrach, Lübeck, Münster, Nuremberg, Paderborn, Reutlingen, Saarbrücken, Siegburg, Speyer, Trier and Wiesbaden. However, according to the report, there are also locations that are considered “safe”. These include Aachen, Bonn, Braunschweig, Bremen, Dresden, Kassel, Mannheim and Würzburg.
The online retailer Buero.de originally stated that it wanted to take over part of the Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof branches. He then withdrew the offer at the end of December and justified this with “changed framework conditions”. However, there will probably be final clarity as to which locations will be closed for the approximately 17,400 employees and their customers in March.
