Two merchant's houses that survived World War II |
Trostbrücke 12 Hamburg, Hamburg 20457 +49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information für Touristen) |
These two Kontorhäuser, to be found at Nikolaifleet, are the only two of their kind to survive World War II. The Laeiszhof, which dates from 1897-98, is the older of the two buildings. The Globushof is a brick building with a facade made less formal by the sandstone divisions it depicts. Copper models of ships, which look extremely impressive, top its spires and the facades are decorated with sculptures of Wilhelm I and Bismarck. The Laeisz-Shipping Company's Ships, such as Pamir and Passat, were regarded as the world's fastest. Review © 2009, Wcities |
