Einkaufs-Center Neuperlach – pep
shopping mall
The Einkaufs-Center Neuperlach – pep (also Perlacher Einkaufspassagen) is a shopping mall in Munich's Neuperlach borough operated by ECE. With a floor space of 60,000 square meters and about 135 specialty shops, it was according to a survey for the year 2002, the most profitable shopping center in Germany, the average revenue per square meter was twice as high as the national average. In designing the state capital, it is recognized as an integrated site with the function of a district center, and through its size has an important role for the entire southeast of the metropolitan Munich.
History
The shopping center was, like the surrounding district of Neuperlach, built by the real estate developer Neue Heimat. It summed up three existing neighborhood centers at the time, the Quiddezentrum, the Plettenbergzentrum and the Marxzentrum as a center for non-daily needs. At its opening on 5 March 1981, after three years of construction, it represented 65 shops on a total area of 30,000 square meters at that time. The realization was taken over by architect Ernst Hürlimann, to which design elements were integrated, including a five-meter high stone oak tree in the center of the building and a red brick floor.
In 1984 the property was purchased, for the equivalent of €54 million, by Deutsche Grundbesitz-Investment Gesellschaft mbH (DGI) which was a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank. The previously planned acquisition of the new home by a medium-sized tenants consortium, which also included the member of parliament Henry Traublinger did not materialize.
On November 23, 1989, the DGI opened the expansion at the Thomas-Dehler-Str. with 30 additional shops.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as shopping mall. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1308067. Authority coordinates are 48.101, 11.644. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2002, 1981, 1984 and 1989.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
