Description
Essentials about the Kontorhaus District in brief
Located right next to the Speicherstadt, the Kontorhaus District is one of the architectural highlights of the Hanseatic City of Hamburg. Those interested in architecture should definitely take a stroll through the quarter, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015. The Kontorhaus District is located in the south-eastern part of Hamburg’s Old Town. Its special features are the large Kontorhaus buildings in the style of brick expressionism of the early 20th century. Particularly striking buildings are the Chilehaus, the Sprinkenhof and the Meßberghof.
