Description

Essentials about Deichstraße in brief

If you want to know, what Hamburg’s Old Town looked like before the Great Fire of 1842, you should definitely stroll through Deichstraße. The old Hamburg town houses in the street have been rebuilt almost true to the original. Ironically enough, the Great Fire also started in Deichstraße.

The architecture of Deichstraße

The multi-storey half-timbered houses with baroque fronts once united office, residential and warehouse purposes under one roof and had both land and water access. The merchants living in Deichstraße were supplied with goods from the canals leading past. Today, the town houses in Deichstraße are home to a number of cafés and rustic restaurants where you can enjoy the atmosphere of the 17th and 18th centuries both inside the buildings and on pontoons on the water.
