mini|Logo und Schriftzug der HO-Kaufhallen

In the GDR larger, spatially undivided, single-storey [self-service] shops were described as the "Kaufhalle" in which predominantly "[Lebensmittel]" and so-called "Waren daily needs" '(WtB) <! --- the grammatically wrong term was actually common ---> as drugstore items and cleaning products were offered. The term was completely uncommon in West Germany. There were such stores supermarket. The term has been in the vernacular of the countries of the former GDR and today usually denotes a larger grocery store without distinction between Discounter and supermarket.

Geschichte
Kaufhall existed predominantly in cities, they were operated by the national trade organization, briefly HO (as national property), or the  Konsumgenossenschaft (as cooperative property). Those who lived in the countryside mostly went to the Village Consumption for shopping. The consumption stores ran a similar but smaller range to the department stores and were operated by the consumer cooperative (as well as cooperative property). Since there was uniform fixed selling prices for all goods, there was no price competition between different stores. However, the range could vary depending on the commitment of the sales office manager. Send feedback History Saved C
