Between 1911 and 1915, Fritz Höger built the Neue Klöpperhaus on Mönckebergstraße to replace the building on Rödingsmarkt. (https://abendfarben.com/das-alte-kloepperhaus-am-hamburger-roedingsmarkt) It was an imposing building located at the entrance to the city center. Acquired by the Kaufhof Group in 1965, it was converted into a department store. Later renamed Galeria Kaufhof, it closed in 2020. Under the name AJOUR IMPULS KONTOR, it is being converted into a modern city building by investors Tishman Speyer. Only the façade of the old office building remains.

The building is currently undergoing renovation; pictures will be provided later.

Unfortunately, very little information is available about the building Merckhof. If you can help (year of construction, architect), I would be grateful. In 2019, it was renovated and refurbished by https://www.maa-architekten.de.

The modern office building from the 1960s is located near Mönckebergstraße. Unfortunately, there is very little information about it online.

A semicircle of windows provides light.

Not a Kontorhaus in the sense of the website, but a beautiful property in Hamburg’s city center: the Hypothekenbank building in Hohe Bleichen street from 1897. The bank was founded in 1871 and merged into Deutsche Hypothekenbank Frankfurt Hamburg AG in 1998. The building is a listed building and underwent extensive modernization in 2006 by https://sehw-architekten.de. In addition, the building was given two additional, modern attic floors. It now houses office space and a restaurant.

In 1906-1907, an office building was built in Grosse Johannisstrasse for the merchant and senator Otto Westphal. In order not to disturb the character of the building, the elevator was adapted to the design. Unfortunately, the architect responsible is not known. If you know anything, please get in touch here.

Nach mehreren Eigentümerwechseln ging das Gebäude in den Besitz einer Körperschaft des Öffentlichen Rechts. Diese betreibt dort medizinische Dienstleistungen. Von dieser wurde freundlicherweise die Erlaubnis zum Fotografieren erteilt und ich mit historischen Informationen versorgt. Vielen Dank dafür.

On Katharinenbrücke stands an inconspicuous office building with a remarkable staircase. Its colors and shape are unusual. Unfortunately, the light well is interrupted by multiple safety nets. In 1907, the office building was constructed by master builder Heinrich Mandix (details unknown). The Krahnstöverhaus had stood on this site since 1661. In 1931, an elevator was added to the building.

After several changes of ownership, the building became the property of a public corporation, which operates medical services there. The corporation kindly granted permission to take photographs and provided me with historical information. Many thanks for that.
