Chronology
| 1911 | Otto Engler is asked to design a "house for exquisite clothing for men and boys" by Paul Carsch. |
|---|---|
| 1915 | The department store is opened. |
| 1970 | The city considers demolishing the building that was damaged in WWII and then used as a cultural center. |
| 1973 | The building is listed as a landmark saving it from destruction. |
| 1976 — 1977 | An expert report concludes that it is possible to move the building 23 meters to the east which is necessary for the construction of the subway station Heinrich-Heine-Allee. The costs are eventually borne by the department store chain Horten AG. |
| 1984 | The department store is re-opened as Carsch-Haus by Horten AG which later merges with Kaufhof AG. |
