Speicherstadt Hamburg

The Speicherstadt has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since July 5, 2015, together with the neighboring Kontorhausviertel under the name Speicherstadt and Kontorhausviertel with Chilehaus.

The Speicherstadt is the largest warehouse ensemble in the world. Whether miniature wonderland, moated castle or traditional ship harbor - a detour to the Speicherstadt is a must on any visit to Hamburg. Since July 2015, the Speicherstadt, together with the Kontorhausviertel including the Chilehaus, has been Germany's 40th UNESCO World Heritage Site.

According to the city guide, 50 percent of the Speicherstadt was destroyed during the Second World War. Everything was rebuilt on the old poles. Since the water in the Elbe is getting less and less, there is a risk that the wooden poles will become dilapidated because they are no longer constantly under water. Simply impressive. Here is the largest trade in oriental carpets outside of the Orient. The Speicherstadt was completed in 1888 and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015.
