Altes Zollhaus, Cultural heritage monument in HafenCity, Germany.

The Altes Zollhaus is a red brick customs building erected in 1911 at the corner of Poggenmühle and Ericuspromenade, beside the Ericusbrücke in HafenCity. It held an inspection hall, a storage room, offices and three staff apartments, and covers roughly 1,220 square metres of gross floor area.

The customs house was built in 1911 for inspections in Hamburg's free port, which existed until its abolition in 2013. It contained an inspection hall, a storage room, offices and three apartments for employees. Between 2013 and 2015 the Hamburg firm HS-Architekten converted the red brick building for restaurant and office use.

On the ground floor, furniture and documents from the office of Spiegel founder Rudolf Augstein are displayed, including a sofa from his office and letters he wrote to federal chancellors. The decoration was assembled together with the neighbouring Spiegel publishing house, which also uses the rooms. Since early 2017 the building has housed a creative laboratory of the 25hours hotel chain and the agency c/o Setzkorn Kemper.

The building sits along a canal in the modern port district and is easily reached on foot. The area has good connections with buses, trams, and ferries.
