This area has its history. The buildings was built in the 18th centuries (1888). The world's largest single stretch of warehouses. These new gothic buildings was once the duty free complex where goods from all over the world were kept for further declarations and transport all the way into the middle of the 19th century. Especially coffee, tea and spices were stored here . During the World War II, about 70% of the complex was destroyed. In 1991 the Speicherstadt gained a status as a historical registered site. In 2003, the duty free border was pushed back to the Elb Bridge and the complex was no longer a duty-free zone. Today, the Speicherstadt is home to several museums and various exhibitions.

Visit the old "Speicherstadt" (storage city) from seaside, doing a boat tour on one of these smaller ships called "Barkasse", starting from St. Pauli Landungsbrücken. Leave a Comment Address: St. Pauli Landungsbrücken

 Die Speicherstadt by weewatty
Striking buildings in red brick stretch for some distance. You will find bothe the Hamburg Dungeon and the Spice Museum in this area as well as some massive model railway which the locals seemed quite excited about, beats me. Leave a Comment

The architecture of this buildings is quite beautiful and I strongly recommend one of the boat trips that passes through this area. I believe it is now also illuminated at night - though I have not seen this myself Leave a Comment

Experience the unique SPEICHERSTADT (warehouse quarter) in the harbour area with its turn-of-the century warehouse palaces in neo-gothic and neo-Renaissance style where coffee, carpets and other goods are stored.
And don't miss the great SPICE MUSEUM located in one of them: I learned a lot here about the origin and effects of some common and not so common spices - and you can actually smell and taste them! They also offer teas flavoured with exotic spices.
If you like to you can also visit one of the carpet stores: of course, you can buy precious carpets here but you can also only look around - the friendly owners (mostly of Persian origin) will give you a nice welcome and offer you a cup of tea anyway. Leave a Comment

Fine though some of the city centre architecture might be – and you can hardly miss the glories of the town hall and St Michel’s church - it was the towering rows of red brick, green roofed buildings of the old Speicherstadt, the warehouse district which caught my imagination. The best way to appreciate what looks like an enormous film set of Gothic and renaissance spires, towers, and fancy gables, is first by boat, when you nose under the neat candle-snuffer cupolas which house the cargo winches then on foot, visiting the spice museum by day or admiring the illuminated bridges by night.
Beyond the warehouses and pushing out further into the river, a new district is currently taking shape and causing much excitement amongst the citizenry. When completed, Hafencity will become the trendiest residential and office accommodation in town, with loft apartments cheek by jowl with architects’ offices and media companies. It will also be a social and cultural centre with an extraordinary new concert hall currently taking shape in the form of a glass wave-shaped auditorium growing above an old warehouse. There will be squares, parks and promenades in Hafencity in due course and of course, a beach and new beach bar for summer evenings. Leave a Comment
