Kaufhaus Gerngross - Mariahilfer Str. 42-48

Great location, multiple shops: home supplies, clothing, gifts, toys.. Restaurants on the top floor offer nice atmosphere and refreshmwnt for families. Also there are few public restrooms on different floors.

One of my favorite place in Mariahilfer All brands are there Zara got two floors Only bad thing is that toilets are open on 5th floor only. Which means that you need ages to go there and come back. They are not available on all the floors mostly it is crowded like nay other shopping mall. As this is not the biggest mall but a tiny miny mall in marahilfer so you need to be ready for a different expereince. I also like the idea of open street shops.. like you are walking in between shops.. There is no clear bounderies/walls for the shops

Better than other malls, but still a mall. I try to avoid going there.

Gerngross is one of the most famous department stores in Vienna at Mariahilfer Strasse 42–48 in the 7th district of Vienna, Neubau. Gerngross Kaufhaus AG is the operator of the department store. Alfred Abraham Gerngroß (1844–1908) from Forth near Nuremberg, who had learned the trade profession from Herzmansky, founded in 1863, founded a fabric store on September 26, 1879 with his younger brother Hugo (1857–1929) in the corner of Mariahilfer Strasse 48 Kirchengasse. After a brief competition with his former employer August Herzmansky, the two companies tried to work together, but this did not lead to any success, which is why this connection was broken up again in 1881. Through subsequent success, the company was able to acquire 13 neighboring houses over time. In 1883 the company was transformed into a company, the business developed into the largest department store in Vienna and subsequently the largest department store in the monarchy. From 1902 to 1904, Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer (Fellner & Helmer office) built a new five-story concrete stand structure on Mariahilfer Strasse. The outer facade came from Fellner's son Ferdinand III. The building contained five elevator systems and an escalator. After the death of Alfred Gerngroß, the company was taken over by his sons Albert (1874–1972), Robert (1876–1942 in the Shoa) and Paul (1880–1954) and on December 22, 1911 into a public limited company, trading under A. Gerngross A. = G. (see picture Gerngross Vienna advertisement 1912). At its best, the department store had around 1,600 employees. The building received a lighthouse as a crown in 1926.

Wow.. big shopping building, 5 floor I think. For this to that! Its got it all. I get my printing supplies (and other goodies) from Media Markt. They have an incredibly large selection.

Good and elegant small size shopping mall. Gentile and elegant. Crowded on weekends. Parking lots.

More old school shop, looks unique nowadays compared the malls. Like it, but I would like more the old look.

I like it, but this time I found there a lot less shops, than before. I hope situation will improve
