The Hertie department store

The department store Hertie in Berlin. The department store Tietz at Alexanderplatz in Berlin was opened in 1904. The Lessinghaus had to make way for the new building. At the time of National Socialism, the name Hertie was derived from the first letters of the surname and first name of Hermann Tietz, since the Jewish name was not be used further. In addition, Aryanization led to the appointment of Georg Karg as Managing Director, who completed the sale of the department store chain. Hertie was taken over by Karstadt in 1994
