Brahms Kontor, Cultural heritage monument and Kontorhaus in Neustadt, Hamburg, Germany.
Brahms Kontor is an office building in Hamburg's Neustadt district that rises 55 meters across 15 floors. Its steel frame structure is covered in brick and accented with bronze sculptures along the facade.
The building was completed between 1927 and 1931 and was Hamburg's tallest secular structure at that time. It survived World War II with only minor damage.
The building has carried the name of composer Johannes Brahms since 2005, and its entrance hall retains original design elements from the 1930s. These details are still visible today and show how interiors were crafted during that era.
The building is located in Neustadt and is easily accessible by public transport. The surrounding area provides ample space to view the facade and its sculptures from different angles.
Bronze sculptures on the facade include figures known as the 'Bronzejünglingen' and an elephant sculpture called 'Anton'. These artistic elements give the building a playful character that is unexpected for an office structure.
