Grindel towerblocks

Tower blocks under a preservation order

Hallerstraße
Hamburg, Hamburg 20146
+49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information für Touristen)

These estates were built as a group project by a number of architects from 1946-1956 and have been placed under a preservation order since 1979. The five blocks (two of which are 121 meters long and have 14 floors, while the other three buildings are 73 meters long and have 8 floors) provide over 2,100 apartments and were the first residential flats to be built in post-war Germany. A steel framework was constructed and then filled with yellow brick according to the Swedish method of building.
