Speicherstadt is the world’s largest complex of warehouses, spanning an area of 260,000 square meters. It was built into the Elbe river between 1883 and the late 1920s on thousands of oak poles as a free economic zone in Hamburg’s port. Speicherstadt’s beautiful neo-gothic brick architecture makes for an exciting contrast to the modern steel-and-glass constructions of neighboring HafenCity. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015 (along with Kontorhausviertel and Chilehaus).
