Altes Zollhaus, Cultural heritage monument in HafenCity, Germany.
The Altes Zollhaus is a protected customs building from the early 1900s in HafenCity. The structure has red brick facades and sturdy forms that reflect the weight of its former function.
The building was constructed around 1910 and originally served as a customs station for Hamburg port. It handled the processing of goods and supervised the movement of cargo on the waterway.
The building shows the link between Hamburg's port activities and its city architecture. Today visitors can see how this spot reflects commerce and maritime work.
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.
The customs house stands between two worlds: old port architecture meets the gleaming new buildings of HafenCity. This contrast makes the spot a window into Hamburg's transformation.
