BERLIN, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 25: Shoppers attend the opening of the Mall of Berlin on September 25, 2014 in Berlin, Germany. The new shopping mall stands at Leipziger Platz, an area that, along with nearby Potsdamer Platz, comprised a set of major shopping crossroads before the Berlin Wall divided the area for nearly 30 years, turning it into a no man's land death strip full of grazing rabbits. As the second-largest mall in the city, the new mall will feature 270 retail spaces, and is located in what will become a pedestrian area, an attempt by investors to reclaim more of the city for commercial purposes near the continuously-developed Friedrichstrasse thoroughfare, a phenomenon occurring in the mall's former East Berlin neighborhood of Mitte since the Wall fell in 1989.
