German Workers Union Building

Trade Union building

Johannes-Brahms-Platz 1
Hamburg, Hamburg 20355
+49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information für Touristen)

The edifice of the German Workers Union was built from 1904 onwards, and the row of bronze athlete's figures on its steeple, as well as the "elephant-rider" at the back of it are lovely little details which should not be missed. Today's brick façade dates from 1921-22, while the tower-like structures and the impressive front façade were added in 1929-31. This building is certainly worth a visit, and it also has some architecturally interesting neighbours - such as the Justizforum (Courts) and the Musikhalle.
