Oberhafen, Harbor basin in HafenCity, Hamburg, Germany.

The Oberhafen area features industrial brick buildings, railway tracks, and waterfront spaces within the modern HafenCity district of Hamburg.

The basin originated as a center for Elbe River bargemen in the 17th century and transformed into a freight location after the construction of Hanover Station in 1872.

The district now functions as a center for creative industries, housing artists, filmmakers, musicians, and various cultural institutions in repurposed industrial buildings.

Several studios, exhibition spaces, and offices occupy the former warehouses, while the Oberhafenkantine restaurant serves regional specialties in a historical dockworker setting.

The area maintains low rental costs through the preservation of existing structures rather than new construction, supporting local artists and preventing displacement.
