In 1906, the competition for the Düsseldorf building of Leonhard Tietz A.G. marked the beginning of the "most important step in the development of German department store architecture after Messel's Wertheim buildings"[2]. The "great significance" is that the model of Messel's Wertheim wing was "transformed into a purer, clearer creation by dispensing with historicizing decoration and thereby elevated beyond the model".[3]

The motif of the facade design is simple: three window strips are separated by narrow strips of wall. The three-part window ensemble is flanked by strong supports. The facade recedes at the level of the fourth and fifth floors. This weakens the "monumentality of the [...] mansard roof"[4]. The building has "considerable dimensions"[4] and a "monumental appearance".[4] It was an example of the "progressive monumentalization that can be seen in the architecture of department stores and department stores in the Rhineland from the turn of the century to the First World War."[5] The Tietz House in Düsseldorf set "new standards that the more recent buildings were based on."[6] This was particularly true of the monumentally designed atrium. The separate exhibition and sales rooms such as the costume salon, salon for model hats, refreshment room, carpet room, and art salon were furnished with great effort using precious materials such as various types of wood, marble, and bronze.

"The Tietz department store on Alleestraße (today Heinrich-Heine-Allee) in Düsseldorf was built according to plans by Joseph Maria Olbrich from 1907 to 1909 in the material and monumental style of reform architecture. The branch now belongs to the Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof department store group, the successor to the former Leonhard Tietz group."

The Tietz department store on Alleestraße (today Heinrich-Heine-Allee) in Düsseldorf was built from 1907 to 1909 according to plans by Joseph Maria Olbrich in the material and monumental style of reform architecture. The branch now belongs to the Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof department store group, the successor to the former Leonhard Tietz group (since 1933 trading as Kaufhof), which operates it under the name Galeria Kaufhof Düsseldorf Königsallee. The architectural sculpture on the external facades is the work of the sculptor Johannes Knubel. In 1906, the competition for the Düsseldorf building of Leonhard Tietz A.G. initiated the "most important step in the development of German department store architecture after Messel's Wertheim buildings". The "great significance" is that the model of Messel's Wertheim wing was "transformed into a purer, clearer creation by dispensing with historicizing decoration and was thereby enhanced beyond the model".

The motif of the facade design is simple: three window strips are separated by narrow strips of wall. The three-part window ensemble is flanked by powerful supports. The facade recedes at the height of the fourth and fifth floors. This weakens the "monumentality of the [...] mansard roof". The building shows "considerable dimensions" and a "monumental appearance". It was an example of the "progressive monumentalization that can be seen in the department store architecture of the Rhineland from the turn of the century to the First World War".
