Kontorhaus District

The Kontorhaus district, which arose in the 1920s and 1930s, is one of Hamburg’s architectural highlights.

These blocks of houses, some of which feature intricately ornamented brick façades, stand for the era of Brick Expressionism, while buildings like the Meßberghof represent the epoch of New Objectivity.
