kontorhaus


The Kontorhausviertel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a testament to Hamburg's maritime cultural heritage and architectural innovation. The district's iconic Chilehaus building, designed by Fritz Höger and completed in 1924, is renowned for its ship-like prow and expressionist style. This area, along with the Speicherstadt, represents over a century of history, where large office complexes and warehouse buildings reflect the city's growth as a global trading port.
