In May 2007 they began to pull down the building Maria Theresien Strasse 33-35, where the former famous department store "Bauer & Schwarz" was located until to its Aryanisation in November 1938.

The architectural competition for the new shopping mall "Kaufhaus Tyrol" was very controversial, but by the end of 2009 the new shopping centre should be established. The adjacent building "Schindlerhaus" will be renovated and the former Café Schindler is going to be reopened.
