Sankt-Annen-Galerie celebrates 16 years: magic, music and joy!

On August 30, 2025, the 16th anniversary of the Sankt-Annen-Galerie will be celebrated in Brandenburg an der Havel. During magnificent celebrations, visitors are amazed by magic, music and various circus attractions such as acrobatics and magic mirrors. Mayor Steffen Scheller and center manager Katja Lenz have the honor of cutting the large holiday cake and thus properly celebrating the anniversary. Scheller, who was also one of the gallery's pioneers, emphasized the importance of a shopping center that operates without vacancies. He praised the management and emphasized the positive shopping experience for customers.

Scheller also wished the gallery much success in the future - and even made a funny prediction: "Brandenburg an der Havel will get to the Sankt-Annen-Galerie faster than the country will get to the new airport in Schönefeld." The shopping center, which is located at Neustadt Markt in Brandenburg an der Havel and was built in a modern design on two levels, can look back on an eventful history. The construction site investigation began in January 2008 before approval was granted in May of the same year. The foundation stone was laid on July 4, 2008, and the topping-out ceremony took place in December. The Sankt-Annen-Galerie opened in August 2009 with a huge response of 50,000 visitors.

A wide range and numerous tenants

With 45 tenants, including well-known retailers such as O2, Vodafone and Tedi, the Sankt-Annen-Galerie is a popular meeting point for the population. The offerings range from grocery stores to electronics markets to fashion stores and bookstores. The gallery has established itself as an important part of city life in order to bring purchasing power from the greenfields back to the city center. There are also 400 parking spaces available, which are attractive for drivers.

With daily opening hours from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and special opening hours for REWE from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., the shopping center also offers a high level of flexibility for its visitors. In addition, the stores will be open until 8:00 p.m. every day, allowing customers to stop by after work.

A dynamic market

In the context of the development of shopping centers in Germany, the Sankt-Annen-Galerie is a positive example. At the beginning of 2023, there were 509 large shopping centers in Germany with a minimum size of 10,000 square meters, which shows that the market for retail real estate is in a dynamic phase. Many shopping centers are in a transformation process where revitalization measures and the conversion of space are part of the current trend. It also shows that it is not uncommon for large areas to be given new uses, such as fitness studios or medical service providers.

However, the Sankt-Annen-Galerie remains a popular place to stay and shop, which should ensure a balanced shopping experience in the future. All the events such as midnight shopping and dance contests in recent years make this mission more concrete and attract many visitors to the shopping center. Star guests such as Beatrice Egli and DJ Ötzi further enliven the events and contribute to the high leisure value.
