Hochhauscenter am Germaniahafen

Hochhauscenter am Germaniahafen, Mixed-use development at Germaniahafen, Kiel, Germany.

Hochhauscenter am Germaniahafen is a mixed-use development at Kiel's harbor featuring a 14-story tower alongside lower buildings connected to the complex. The site holds office spaces, roughly 58 residential units, retail shops, and restaurants with waterfront views.

The Hochhauscenter am Germaniahafen opened in April 2007 as the first component of the Kai-City Kiel project on the former Germaniawerft shipyard site. Investor Gerhard Schmid, founder of Mobilcom, had planned the redevelopment and invested around 200 million DM. After the Sachsen LB cancelled its loan, the building was auctioned in early 2005 for 13 million euros to Waterkant Immobilien GmbH & Co. KG, which completed it.

This site replaced the former Germania shipyard, showing how industrial areas can become active neighborhoods where residents, workers, and visitors mix together. The ground floor shops and restaurants create a gathering place along the waterfront for people from across the city.

The complex is split into two sections north of the Germaniahafen, separated above ground by a cut with a wide open staircase leading to the Norwegenkai; both share a common basement. A shop row runs along the harbor basin, and a restaurant with outdoor seats and an ice-cream café face the Hörnbrücke. The office floors can be divided flexibly into individual, group, combined or open-plan offices.

The structure features a Bluebox element integrated into its modern facade, serving as a distinctive architectural accent. This design detail gives the harbor complex a visual identity that stands out among other Kiel buildings.
