Huge, huge department store
KaDeWe or Kaufhaus des Westens is a mammoth of a department store. Filling most part of a block and then expanding to the neighbouring buildings, the store can provide all the things you need.

There are several floors filled with various stuff, and every floor could easily contain a smallish department store. The basement has cosmetics, bags, belts and other accessories, the next few floors up have fashions and the rest of the floors have home stuff, sport items and others. There is also a bookstore in the building.
One of the more pecular aspects of shopping experience are the centralised cashiers: there is only one place at a floor to pay your purchases. Navigating to the cashier can be quite annoying, especially if they are renovating the floor and there are stuff obscuring the views.
