Speicherstadt, Warehouse district in HafenCity, Hamburg, Germany
The Speicherstadt spans 26 hectares of red-brick buildings with loading canals, creating a network of waterways between storage facilities and administrative structures.
Built between 1883 and 1927, this warehouse complex operated as a duty-free zone, facilitating the storage and transfer of goods like coffee, tea, and spices.
The district houses the German Customs Museum, which presents exhibits about maritime trade, port operations, and the evolution of customs procedures.
Visitors can reach the district by taking the U3 metro line to Baumwall station or bus lines 6 and 111 that stop near the main entrances.
The warehouses stand on thousands of oak logs driven into the Elbe River bed, supporting structures that combine storage spaces with administrative offices.
