The Europa Passage will offer 120 shops with 75 per cent being unique to Hamburg and adding to the city's reputation as a shopping destination.
Highlights of the shopping centre will include Europe's largest sports store Karstadt Sport and boutiques from German designers Jill Sander and Wolfgang Joop.
Europa Passage opens its doors to shoppers on 5 October with a series of events and promotions for those first to check it out.
Across Germany there are around 400 major shopping centres for those opting for a shopping break.
