Kontorhaus Leder-Schüler

The Kontorhaus Leder-Schüler exhibits dark brick facade architecture with green window frames and vertical elements reflecting its steel skeleton structure at Heidenkampsweg.

Fritz Höger designed this 1928 office building for a leather processing company, incorporating American architectural elements such as staggered floor plans and step-gable designs.

The basement housed multiple music venues from 1946 to 2012, including Danny's Pan folklore club and Front, one of Germany's first house music clubs.

The building underwent structural evaluations in 2019 after its purchase by PEG Hamburg and Reiss & Co, revealing severe damage to its steel framework.

The building remained intact during World War II despite extensive bombing in the industrial Hammerbrook district, standing as a testament to its construction.
