Brahms Kontor

Hamburg’s state-of-the-art modern classic is located directly vis-à-vis the Laeiszhalle. The Brahms Kontor is an example of Expressionist architecture of the 1920s and fascinates with its architectural contrasts.

With its shimmering Art Deco foyer, the ornamented floors, filigree glass art and the exceptional façade sculptures such as the elephant rider and the young male figures as well as the ranks of dancers, it is an architectural jewel in Hamburg. During Hamburg’s Great Flood, it was the seat of Helmut Schmidt’s crisis management team.
