Retail geography: notes on the development of the discipline in the Germon
and Anglo-Saxon context. This paper reviews the different research questions in
retail geography from a historical perspective. A comparison of the discipline's development
in the German and Anglo-Saxon context shows that research questions strongly depend
on the way the discipline sees itself and on how strongly it is involved in applied
research. Nowadays, questions of the locational demands of retailing as well as the spatial
relevance of retailing and its dynamics are at the centre of geographical retail research.
