Spiegel House, Publishing house headquarters in HafenCity, Hamburg, Germany.

Spiegel House is the 13-storey, 61-metre headquarters of the Spiegel Group on the Ericusspitze in Hamburg's HafenCity, designed by Henning Larsen Architects. Its glass facade wraps a solid base and roughly 30,000 square metres of floor area, with single-storey offices alternating with double-height open spaces linked by internal galleries around an atrium.

In 2006 the Spiegel Group announced it would gather its Hamburg divisions, including Spiegel TV and Spiegel Online, at a new building on the Ericusspitze. A competition drew 13 international firms, and in 2007 the design by Copenhagen's Henning Larsen Architects won. The foundation stone was laid in May 2008, the topping-out ceremony followed on 25 October 2010, and staff moved in during September 2011.

The red-lit "Snackbar" by Verner Panton hangs in the building and is especially visible at night; its counterpart, the Spiegel canteen, is held by the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg. Employees can collect honey from two bee colonies kept on the roof, harvested for the staff canteen.

The building stands on the Ericusspitze in the Brooktorkai/Ericus quarter of HafenCity, at the southern tip of the site facing the water. The ground floor holds a gym, and the offices above are reached by internal galleries and bridges. The two beehives are on the roof, and staff collect the honey in the canteen at harvest time.

Two beehives stand on the roof of the high-rise, and at harvest time staff can collect the building's own honey in the canteen. The red-lit "Snackbar" by Verner Panton glows through the glass facade at night, while its counterpart, the Spiegel canteen, is held by the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg.
