Hamburgs Kehrwiederspitze

Architecture in Hamburg

Hamburg has been renowned for its bold urban planning for over a century. Such striking architectural designs as the Chilehaus dating from the 1920s or today’s HafenCity Hamburg also set new yardsticks for living and working in a big city.

Much has been done in recent years to make the city centre between the Alster and the port still more inviting. In the 1970s, the first spacious shopping passages were built there. Today the new Europa-Passage and the new layout for Jungfernstieg are in the same spirit.

Such renowned architectural practices as Bothe Richter Teherani or gmp von Gerkan, Marg and Partner are two of the standard-bearers for an ambitious architectural scene in Hamburg of a kind impossible to fi nd elsewhere in Germany and Europe.
