Dussmann das KulturKaufhaus

Culture to touch and participate

Dussmann das KulturKaufhaus offers everything culture lovers could ask for, spread over five floors. From books to film and design, the store has 7,500 square meters of sales floor in Berlin, holding over 900,000 cultural media titles.

Dussmann das KulturKaufhaus offers an analog audio studio, a printing shop, a Polaroid lab, a vinyl recorder for people’s own records, a stage for readings and concerts, and much more. In addition to the on-site offering, the online shop  offers a media mix of nearly fifteen million products, from books and sheet music to film and music.

Why does a service company operate a media department store? Our company founder Peter Dussmann came from a family of booksellers and was himself a trained bookstore clerk. When he moved his service company into the new headquarters in Berlin in the mid-1990s, he seized the opportunity and created Dussmann the KulturKaufhaus. In 2023, it was voted one of the ten most beautiful bookstores in the world.
