Shoping in Brandenburg: Kavoja Systems closes forever!

In the old town of Brandenburg, the vacancy has increased, which led to the permanent closing of the computer shop Kavoja Systems. The managing director Christoph Voß opened the shop in Ritterstraße 91 at the beginning of 2020, but had to make the company to make the company in view of the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic and a decline in demand because many customers had already bought new technology.

Kavoja Systems worked for four years in Ritterstrasse. The shop offers an area of 41.5 square meters with two rooms, which can now be used immediately by new tenants. The previous tenant was the hairdresser hair project, and the social association Germany and the old town pub are located in the immediate neighborhood.

further closures and new shops

Closing Kavoja Systems is not the only negative trend in the region. In February 2024, the Pachamama shop closed its doors for economic reasons. In addition, the Café Melange, a popular meeting place with German cuisine, ended its company in July 2024. The café building is currently for sale for 1.3 million euros, with several interested parties already available.

positive things to report: At the end of 2024, two new shops opened on the Old City Market- Jonalee, specialized in baby and children's equipment, as well as a waxing and cosmetic studio. Despite these developments, Kerstin Rauch, owner of the old town pub, expresses doubts about a possible revival of Ritterstrasse. Christoph Voß Plant to continue to organize the Brandenburg Stammtisch for video players in the Altstadt-Pub.

The problem of vacancy is not limited to Brandenburg. According to a forecast by the Germany (HDE) trade association (HDE), around 46,000 retailers are expected to be closed across Germany in the next four years. Around 5,000 branch closures are expected for 2023 alone. These closures mainly affect smaller specialist dealers such as fashion boutiques, shoe stores and bakeries. High rental costs and the booming online trade contribute significantly to this branch death, such as "https://www.focus.de/finanzen/news/warung-vor-leste-deutschlands-staedtten-das-das-das-s-das-drei-loesungen_id_259652330.html"> FOCUS reported.

In order to counteract the shopping, experts suggest several measures, including strengthening “purchase local” campaigns, the creation of multifunctional places and incentives for the conversion of shops into living space. A central point of contact for the coordination of funding programs and urban development measures is also considered necessary.
