Regensburg Arcaden opened in 2009 in Regensburg, Bavaria, with approximately 32,000 sqm of gross leasable area adjacent to the historic World Heritage Site medieval city centre as the principal modern enclosed retail destination for one of Germany’s best-preserved medieval cities. The centre is owned by Deutsche EuroShop and managed by ECE Projektmanagement.
Regensburg is a UNESCO World Heritage City whose medieval Old Town — with the 12th-century Stone Bridge over the Danube, the Regensburg Cathedral, and 1,000-year-old Italian merchant towers — is considered the best-preserved medieval city ensemble in Germany. The city of approximately 160,000 is also one of Bavaria’s economic growth cities, home to the Continental AG tyre technology division, BMW’s Regensburg production plant (producing the BMW 1-Series and X1), and the University of Regensburg with 23,000 students. Regensburg Arcaden provides H&M and mainstream fashion and service retail for the Regensburg urban catchment. The heritage tourism from the UNESCO designation draws approximately 4 million visitors annually, creating a substantial visitor retail overlay. The Danube corridor and the A3 motorway provide regional connectivity.
Regensburg’s population of approximately 160,000 provides the immediate base. The eastern Bavaria catchment from Straubing and the Upper Palatinate extends the regional draw to approximately 500,000. The UNESCO heritage tourism draws approximately 4 million annual visitors. The A3 motorway provides direct connectivity to Nuremberg and Munich.
Deutsche EuroShop and ECE manage Regensburg Arcaden in the commercial context of a Bavarian city whose UNESCO medieval heritage and automotive-industrial economic growth create a dual commercial foundation: the resident automotive workforce’s premium income plus the 4 million annual heritage tourist visitor flow together generate retail spending capacity that the residential population alone understates.
