Broschekhaus

The Broschekhaus is a commercial building in Hamburg-Mitte with a striking brick design and ceramic pyramids that stand out where Heuberg and Große Bleichen meet. The structure shows angular forms and a thoughtful play of light and shadow across its surface.

The building was constructed in 1925 as headquarters for the Broschek & Co publishing company. After World War II, the British used the structure for producing the Die Welt newspaper.

The building shows the design language of the New Building movement of the 1920s through its distinctive brick treatment and fits among other striking structures from that era. Visitors who look closely at the facade notice the craftsmanship in how materials are arranged.

The building stands at a busy corner downtown and is easy to reach on foot, with public transport stops nearby. The Renaissance Hamburg Hotel occupies the space and serves as a base for visitors exploring the city center.

A bronze figure of architect Fritz Höger by Karlheinz Goedtke adorns the building and recalls its creator. The original clinker bricks from the construction period remain part of the facade, showing how durable the material choice proved to be.
