"The shopping mall at Limbecker Platz in Essen's center will remain closed on Saturday amid security concerns. The police have concrete evidence about a possible attack," the police said on Facebook.
Germany has been on edge after a string of Islamist-linked attacks last year, the deadliest being the truck-ramming of a Berlin Christmas market. The self-confessed Daesh (outlawed in Russia) terrorist group member, Anis Amri, drove a stolen truck into a crowd, killing 12 people and injuring 48 others.
On March 8, Germany's domestic intelligence agency said the country was facing a threat of an attack at any moment.
