Prien house, Architectural heritage monument in Neustadt, Germany

The Prien house stands eight stories tall with a sandstone facade made from Kirchheimer Muschelkalk and features vertical divisions across its structure.

Between 1935 and 1936, entrepreneur Ludwig Prien commissioned architects Gottfried Schramm and Hermann Höger to construct this building for his textile business.

The building incorporates maritime elements in its design, with features such as railing-like grids and flagpoles reflecting Hamburg's connection to shipping.

The structure houses multiple businesses, including the first NIVEA House by Beiersdorf AG and international law firm Watson, Farley & Williams LLP.

The facade regulations near Binnenalster specifically prohibited brick construction, leading to the use of sandstone for the entire exterior surface.

Location: Hamburg-Mitte

Architects: Gottfried Schramm, Hermann Höger
