This essay examines the commercial logic behind the modern buildings designed by Erich Mendelsohn for entrepreneur Salman Schocken. Built in Germany between the 1910s and 1933, Schocken's department stores aimed to offer affordable, quality goods near railway stations, with distinctive vertical corners. Due to Nazi racial laws, both Mendelsohn and Schocken were exiled, hindering full realization of the project. Most stores were bombed and later rebuilt under different principles.
