German term or phrase: Traditionshaus
"Im neugotischen Stammhaus Glockengasse, bekannt als Geburts- und Traditionshuas des Duftwassers "4711", befindet sich das Repräsentationsgeschäft des Duftunternehmens Cosmopolitan Cosmetics" - I'd quite like a second opinion for the words: Stammhaus (which I've translated as traditional home) and Repräsentationsgeschäft (represntative branch). Thanks very much.

Vielen Dank Johanna für Deinen Vorschlag. "Flagship store" fand ich ganz prima, habe mich aber für "headquarters" statt "principal establishment" und "traditional home" statt "original home" entschieden, da es meinen englischen Ohren besser gefiel. Dein "located" fand ich aber auch schöner als mein "based". Mach weiter so!

traditional home and presentational branch


Explanation:
I would stick with that translation, as it seems to fit in well with the context - "known as the birthplace and traditional home..."

As for the Repräsentationsgeschäft I think presentational fits better and is more correct a translation (auf die Präsentation beziehend, LEO dictionary)
