Portal Removal Appeal

On Friday, November 8th, 2024, the ‘Idee Shop KaDeWe Berlin’ portal was removed. The shop was originally located in the KaDeWe department store, approximately 800 meters away as the crow flies. However, it moved to a new location a few years ago. The corresponding entry on the Intel map also moved to the new location. The store is present at this location and there are obviously no criteria for a sudden inapplicability that would justify its removal.
Please restore the POI.

This looks like a generic chain business that likely should never have been accepted in the first place. Maybe Niantic have decided to do a bit of a clean up here?

The original wayspot was for this sign, which doesn’t exist anymore, after the store moved to a new location.

Hi @Paddel6952

Isn’t it the same shop as in this topic?:

correct. That’s the appeal which the wayspot was removed through.
The “idee” sign was destroyed when the building was replaced. The wayspot was then moved to the new location of the “idee”-shop but the sign never moved.

Thanks for the appeal, Explorer. We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire the Wayspot.
