Overview

• Kaufland officially opened its new Heidenau location at 7 am on May 22, 2025, following a year-long renovation of the 1994-built former Real building.
• The €16 million investment included a complete overhaul of building services and the installation of climate-neutral heating technology.
• The shopping center hosts Kaufland alongside specialty stores such as Action, Apollo Optiker, and Ernsting’s Family, with Smyths Toys scheduled to join in July.
• Store manager Marco Kemnitz leads a team of 95 employees, selected after conducting 230 interviews, with hiring efforts ongoing.
• The redevelopment revitalizes a key main street location, ending a year of inactivity and providing Heidenau with its first shopping center of this scale.
