The listed Curio House in Hamburg-Rotherbaum combines magnificent architecture with an eventful history. Once the centre of the education movement and the scene of post-war justice, it is now a stylish location for cultural events and functions.

With its magnificent façade and over 100 years of history, the Curio House in the Rotherbaum district is a special place for culture, encounters and remembrance. Once a meeting place for Hamburg's educational movement, today it is an event location with historical charm.

The elegant halls, ornate staircases and large ballroom create a unique ambience – perfect for stylish events. But the Curio House is more than just a backdrop: after the Second World War, it was the scene of the British Curio House trials, an important chapter in Hamburg's contemporary history.

Did you know?

In the 1920s, the Curio House was a meeting place for artists and intellectuals – and today it lives on as a venue for concerts, readings and conferences.
