The new U-Bahn station was being built at the same time as the hotel and actually ran through the hotel's basement, cutting it in half, thus making the construction of both into something of a technical challenge, but unlike the Wertheim department store ( and contrary to several sources ), the hotel did not enjoy a separate entrance directly from the station.

Georg Wertheim ( February 11, 1857, Stralsund – December 31, 1939, Berlin ) was a German merchant and founder of the popular Wertheim chain of department stores.

Wertheim quickly realised the changing demand of the growing city in the period of industrialisation and in 1890 opened the first real department store on Moritzplatz / Oranienstraße in Berlin-Kreuzberg.

And if the affection for the suburban branch reflects a desire to shop with `` nice people '', rather than with the indiscriminate urban mass which supports the downtown department store, the central location may be in serious trouble.
