Wayspot removal appeal; Idee Shop

When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:

  • Wayspot Title: Idee Shop KaDeWe Berlin
  • Location (lat/lon): 52.504939,13.331729
  • City: Berlin
  • Country: Germany
  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):

  • Additional Information (if any):

current portal image:

The portal no longer exists and is located in a completely wrong place. The fomer craft store was on the ground floor of the KaDeWe parking garage in Passauer Strasse (approx 500m further east, see map at the end of the post). The facade of the parking garage is clearly visible on the picture of the portal. I have added two more photos, the first shows the current state of construction at the present location (google streep view).

current streetview:

The second photo shows the store, the parking garage and the KaDeWe logo at the original location at Passauer Str. (52.501993,13.340107). The KaDeWe logo is clearly visible next to the “idee” sign.

The craft store and the parking garage were closed long ago, and the “idee” company sign was destroyed in the process. The building was demolished and replaced by a new building complex. The portal should therefore be completely removed from the system. At the current position there is a branch of the craft store which does not fulfill the basic portal criteria.

… and finally a map section that clearly shows the two different locations.

Thanks for the appeal, @1709tom. After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Wayspot in question.
