Reports: Inditex may take over Peek & Cloppenburg building on Tauentzienstraße

A well-known Berlin fashion address could soon carry a different name. According to industry reports, the Spanish fashion group Inditex is set to take over the prominent property at Tauentzienstraße 19 in Schöneberg, which is now home to a Peek & Cloppenburg store. The Tagesspiegel article, published on 6 November 2026, asks in its headline whether Zara will take the place of Peek & Cloppenburg.

The building, with its wavy glass facade, has long been a landmark of Berlin's City West. For decades it has been one of the most eye-catching buildings on the Tauentzienstraße shopping strip.

The reports go back to the Handelsblatt. It says Peek & Cloppenburg (P&C) is to vacate its large department stores, known as Weltstadthäuser, in Berlin, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt. The Berlin building is therefore part of a wider withdrawal from several big-city locations.

The Tagesspiegel presents the takeover as a possibility based on industry reports, not as a confirmed fact. The excerpt gives no further details about the timing of any move.
