Kurfürstendamm risale al XVI secolo quando il principe Electoral Joachim II fece costruire un sentiero che collegava il suo palazzo sull'Unter den Linden con il suo casino di caccia nella forestà di Grunewald. Alla fine del XIX secolo Bismarck ha trasformato quella semplice strada in un prestigioso boulevard delimitato da favolose case di città. Distrutto durante la seconda guerra mondiale e ricostruito nelle decadi successive, il Kurfürstendamm non è più lo splendore che era. Nonostante ciò il Ku'damm - como lo chiamano affettuosamente i berlinesi - rimane un simbolo di prosperità e benessere.
Questa succursale del famoso grande magazzino parigino contribuisce a dare un tocco di mediterranea eleganza alla capitale tedesca generalmente abbastanza austera. Situato in Friedrichstadt-Passagen shopping center in Friedrichstraße, la prima via dello shopping nella Berlino est, il negozio offre le ultime tendenze dai disegnatori di culto come Yves Saint Laurent e Pierre Cardin. Il design dell'edificio, dall'interno soleggiato e l'attraente tetto di vetro sono abbastanza sfacciati. L'unico problema è che a volte pezzi di vetro cascano sul pavimento sottostante provocando l'allarme tra i pedoni e l'ira della polizia. Lo spazio ristoro al piano sottoterra non è dello stesso livello del leggendario settore cibo del KaDeWe ma rimane comunque un eccellente posto per mangiare un paio di ostriche fresche.
Friedrichstraße is Berlin's answer to the Champs Elysées, Oxford Street and Fifth Avenue, a vibrant melting pot where history, culture, entertainment and fashion meet. Before the fall of the Wall, the southern section of Friedrichstraße was located in the West, and the northern part in the East. Beginning at Mehringplatz in Kreuzberg, the three kilometer-long (1.86 miles) street leads through the heart of the city centre, past the former border crossing at Checkpoint Charlie, to Oranienburger Tor, Berlin's pulsating nightlife district. Historically, the area around Stadtmitte underground station used to be Berlin's premier shopping district. The crossroads at Leipziger Straße were lined with swanky boutiques before wartime bombs left their mark. The new shopping district is now centered around Französische Straße underground station, and includes the fabulous Galeries Lafayette, the exclusive Quartier 206 and the awe-inspiring Friedrichstadtpassagen shopping mall - three of Berlin's architectural highlights. The northern section of the street leads into theater town. A magnet for theater-goers since the 19th century, visitors still pour into places like the Friedrichstadtpalast, Berliner Ensemble, Deutsches Theater and Kammerspiele.
