Warburg Haus, Hamburg

The Warburg Haus features architectural elements designed by Gerhard Langmaack in 1920, incorporating academic and cultural functions within its structure.

The building housed the Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg until 1933, when its collection moved to London due to the Nazi regime.

The institution maintains an interdisciplinary approach to art history and cultural sciences, focusing on research in political iconography and visual studies.

Located at Heilwigstrasse 116 in the Eppendorf district, the center organizes regular seminars, workshops, and exhibitions about art historical topics.

The William S. Heckscher archive, containing materials from the Princeton-based art historian, found its permanent home at Warburg Haus in 2001.
