Die Arcade

In the location's words:

The Arcade in Bielefeld is a small shopping center at Herforder Strasse 8-10, near Jahnplatz in the city center. In the 1980s, it was considered one of the most attractive arcades in the city, but today it looks largely abandoned and neglected. Many retail spaces are empty, especially on the upper floor, while a few stores are still open on the first floor, including the "Underground Factory", a tattoo and piercing studio that is positively praised by visitors.

Despite the vacancy, the architecture of the arcade is described by some as charming - with small bridges, corridors and an eye-catching ceiling with mirrors and light bulbs. The arcade is occasionally mentioned as an insider tip for photo sessions.
