An event in the Kontorhausviertel series - Stattreisen HamburgKontorhäuserTippmamsells and Paternoster – the Kontorhausviertel, including visits to various stairwellsWe embark on this city tour on a journey back in time to one of Hamburg's most exciting eras: the outstanding Kontorhäuser such as Laeisz-Hof, Afrika-Haus, Sprinkenhof, Meßberghof and Chilehaus bear witness to economic growth and global significance and tell stories of office clerks, cash-counting desks, proletarian diggers, and clinker bricks. The city took on a radically new face in the 1920s: instead of the labyrinthine Gängeviertel, large Kontorhäuser rose up, expressing the growing importance of the city as a trading metropolis and port city.On this city tour we visit some of the most impressive buildings and stairwells at Alten Hafen and in Kontorhausviertel.The Kontorhausviertel is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
