Forum

The new shopping mall "Forum Duisburg" is being created at the centre of the city on the premium site previously occupied by Karstadt department store.
Forum in Duisburg
 
It will be home to retail stores, restaurants, bars and leisure facilities as well as various service providers and offices, covering a surface area of approx. 50,000 mē.

Forum will dovetail smoothly with the targeted inner-city development and reinforce Duisburg's role as a major centre for shopping, culture and business in the region. By incorporating the new KarstadtQuelle AG department store in the Forum, a complex is emerging which will be immensely important to Duisburg city centre. With the help of KarstadtQuelle AG, the architectural concept of a department store in touch with the demands of tomorrow's shoppers is being implemented, catering for the most sophisticated of shopping experiences. The project aims to become Germany's foremost, integrated, city-centre shopping centre. Due to Forum's location facing the brand new CityPalais combining the Mercatorhalle concert hall and casino, Königstrasse, the City's high street and 'backbone', will become the architectural focus of attention, along which to experience the joys of shopping, eating out, leisure and events.
