Colonnaden

The Colonnaden extends from Jungfernstieg boulevard to Stephansplatz, featuring Renaissance Revival architecture and distinctive arcades along its northeastern side.

Initially owned by the Wex brothers in the 1870s as a private road, the Colonnaden transformed into a public shopping area during Hamburg's urban development.

The buildings along Colonnaden reflect the architectural preferences of the 1880s, with protected monuments preserving the street's historical character since 1978.

The street functions primarily as a pedestrian zone, connecting to the U1 subway line and providing access to numerous retail establishments.

The construction of Hamburg's U-Bahn line beneath Colonnaden in 1930 required extensive engineering work while maintaining the street's commercial activities.
