By the year 1900, there were 14 market halls (or market houses) in Berlin.
| Name | Location | Built (date) | Sales area (in m²) / Number of stands | Remarks | Image |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I, Zentralmarkthalle Berlin (I and II) | Berlin-Mitte, on both sides of Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße (now Karl-Liebknecht-Straße) near Alexanderplatz | 1884–1886 and –1893 | 16.079/1336 13.281/776 |
The Central Market Hall I (as it was first called) was the first shopping center built according to the municipal building program. It had ice-cold storage rooms in the cellar area and its own railway connection to deliver goods. Until 1893, the extension of the central market hall was built on the opposite side of the street (Central Market Hall Ia or II). The Central Market Hall parts survived the First World War and the economic crisis to a large extent without damage, only in 1944 it was ruined. The Hall I, rebuilt in need of help, helped provide the East Berlin population. Hall Ia was dismantled. In the 1960s the first market hall was also destroyed. Some parts were integrated into a new building at the same place. |
