Es ist kein Kontorhaus im Sinne der Webseite, aber geschaffen von großen Hamburger Baumeistern. Von 1924-25 schufen die Architekten Rudolf Klophaus (1885-1957) und August Schoch (1881-1957) den ersten Teil des Gebäudes. Der Südflügel wurde von Fritz Höger von 1926-27 erbaut. Es diente bis 1982 der Produktion von Zigaretten, wurde dann umgebaut und war Sitz der Deutschen Telekom.

Höger’s expressionist clinker work can be seen here impressively in the surface (and height). Depending on the incidence of light and the angle of view, there are fascinating views.Here, too, is the typical reinforced concrete skeleton construction, which is peculiar to many Kontorhäuser. Built for the cigarette company „Haus Neuerburg“, it first bore the name. Later taken over by the Reemtsma Group, it bore the name „Reemtsma Hof“.

It is not a Kontorhaus in the sense of the website, but created by great Hamburg master builders. From 1924-25 the architects Rudolf Klophaus (1885-1957) and August Schoch (1881-1957) created the first part of the building. The south wing was built by Fritz Höger from 1926-27. It was used for the production of cigarettes until 1982, when it was rebuilt and became the headquarters of Deutsche Telekom.

Auch hier findet sich die typische Stahlbeton-Skelett-Bauweise, die vielen Kontorhäusern eigen ist. Gebaut für die Zigarettenfirme „Haus Neuerburg“ trug es erst den Namen. Später vom Reemtsma-Konzern übernommen, trug es den Namen „Reemtsma Hof“. Högers expressionistischen Klinkerarbeiten sind hier in der Fläche (und Höhe) eindrucksvoll zu sehen. Je nach Lichteinfall und Blickwinkel gibt es faszinierende Ansichten.

Habichtstraße residential block
The architect and designer Karl. R. Schneider (1892-1945) was involved in mass housing construction in the 1920s. Together with the architects Willy Berg and Max Paasche, he planned and realized a three-wing apartment block at today’s Ring 2. 240 apartments were built in red brick. For the time of construction, the standard of living was very high. There was central heating, hot water, bathtubs and loggias. The complex has remarkable balconies and a spacious gateway in the center. The apartment block is a listed building. LINK

In the Walddörferstraße in Hamburg Wandsbek stands a typical representative of the turned red bricks. They form beautiful contrasts in the office buildings of the Hanseatic city.

Neubau in der Breiten Straße, Hamburg Altona. Angelehnt an die Rotklinker Architektur der 20er und 30er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts. Auch wenn dem Neubau eine Grünanlage zum Opfer fiel – die Architekten haben sich Mühe gegeben. Anders, als die Beton- und Metall-Fetischisten in der City.

New building in Breite Straße, Hamburg Altona. Based on the red brick architecture of the 20s and 30s of the 20th century. Even though a green area fell victim to the new building, the architects took great pains. Different from the concrete and metal fetishists in the city.
