Former Zeeck department store
The Zeeck department store opened in 1908 and was expanded in the 1920s. In 1945, it became the HO department store and then in the 1960s the Magnet department store. For a long time, its façade of blue slats and the name Magnet was a defining element of the cityscape. After the GDR collapsed, the building stood vacant. In the early 2000s, the Dinh family acquired the building and used part of it for its textile company. The Asian restaurant Lou is now located on the ground floor. In 2025, work began on removing the sheet-metal curtain façade and restoring the historical façade of the 1920s.
The exhibition is supported by the Fonds Zero programme, an initiative of the German Federal Cultural Foundation.
