Görtz-Palais, Heritage monument in Neustadt, Hamburg, Germany

The Görtz-Palais is a structure on Neuer Wall in Hamburg with a baroque facade of sandstone shaped by Dutch architectural influences. Ionic pilasters and stone cornices mark its exterior and show the craftsmanship of the 18th century.

The building was designed and built in 1710 by architect Johannes Nicolaus Kuhn for diplomat Georg Heinrich von Görtz. From 1722 to 1806 it served as residence for imperial ambassadors and held political importance in the city.

The palace takes its name from Georg Heinrich von Görtz, an important diplomat who once lived here. Today visitors can admire the baroque facade and appreciate how the architecture reflected the status of its original residents.

The baroque facade faces Neuer Wall at number 86; the building itself now forms part of the Stadthöfe complex and is used as offices, so only the exterior can be viewed. The Bürgermeister-Petersen-Platz with Carl Friedrich Petersen's monument lies directly opposite. The police leadership bunker from the Second World War survives beneath that square, but its direct access from the palais has been closed since the latest conversion.

The 1953 rebuild by architect Carl-Friedrich Fischer kept only the surviving baroque facade and placed a seven-storey office block behind it. From 1955 to 1977 the rebuilt palais housed the headquarters of the Germanischer Lloyd. A police command bunker from the Second World War survives beneath the Bürgermeister-Petersen-Platz opposite, though its direct link to the building was sealed during the 2020 conversion.
