It accommodates the first mainland branch of the famous Sansibar restaurant from the North Sea island of Sylt. Herbert Seckler who owns the restaurant on the island is a national celebrity in his own right. Now he has granted his first license for a restaurant outside the island.

The brief was to transfer the relaxed and informal atmosphere of the original restaurant to the Rhine metropolis. In keeping with Breuninger harmony, the restaurant was to radiate a natural, high-class flair. The aim was to unify two strong brands, Breuninger and Sansibar, under a single roof so that each can profit from the other.

Wine is a key theme for the Sansibar, and this was integrated in the draft plans as a characteristic element.  Image Courtesy © DITTEL | ARCHITEKTEN Various zones offer seats for about 130 guests. The central element in the room is the large bar. During the day, it provides an open view of the Breuninger sales area, inviting guests to relax with a snack. Whereas flexible furniture clusters line the façade which offers a scenic view over the lake, the bench seating at the front ends encompasses the room. It is backed by a patinated wall design reminiscent of an old wine cellar. Two large solid tables in the middle of the room promote communication and informality, while the suspended candelabras provide pleasant lighting.
