The first IKEA furniture store in Germany opened on October 17, 1974 in Eching near Munich. In 1987 there were 18 houses: Berlin-Spandau, Kaltenkirchen, Stuhr, Großburgwedel, Löhne (closed on March 31, 1996), Kassel, Dorsten, Kamen, Kaarst, Cologne-Godorf, Walldorf, Hofheim am Taunus, Bous, Fürth, Stuttgart, Freiburg im Breisgau and Eching.

Since December 13, 2010, Berlin-Lichtenberg on Landsberger Allee is home to the world's second largest facility, with a gross floor area of ??approximately 43,000 m². The furniture stores in Oldenburg and Rostock are the first in the world to have a glass extension for the extensive factory area.

On March 14, 2014, a new furniture store was opened in Lübeck-Dänischburg, according to a concept that is new in Germany. This is how, in one unit with the furniture store, the LUV shopping center and a hardware store were created in the same place.

On June 30, 2014, a third furniture store was opened in Hamburg. The Altona district now houses the second IKEA department store in the city center of a major city, after Essen that opened in 1993. To avoid excessive traffic chaos, you can borrow cargo bikes here - also a novelty - to transport the goods home in an environmentally friendly way. Since there are four S-Bahn and ten bus lines in the immediate vicinity of this furniture store, it is - according to IKEA - "an ideal location".
