Postgalerie Speyer
The listed former Reich Post Office building was converted into the “Postgalerie Speyer” shopping center. While preserving as much of the existing structure as possible, a new core was inserted into the U-shaped historic building. Inspired by the historic “Altpörtel” tower, it forms the gateway to Speyer’s pedestrian zone.
Up to 40 retail stores, cafés, bistros, restaurants, service areas, and ancillary spaces are accommodated in the old and new buildings, providing a total floor area of 23,000 square meters.

The interior circulation runs along an axis from Postplatz to Bahnhofstraße. The individual retail levels are connected by escalators and open voids. Another entrance to the Postgalerie is accessible from the pedestrian zone via Gutenbergstraße.
The circulation axis culminates in a glazed roof structure, marking the transition between the historic and new buildings.
