Überseering 35, Office high-rise in Winterhude, Germany

Überseering 35 is an office complex in Hamburg's City Nord, completed in 1974 for Deutsche Shell AG. It consists of a light-clad three-story base with two basement levels and a dark-clad cross-shaped high-rise with 13 floors. The high-rise measures 120 meters north to south and rises 55 meters above street level. Its brown glass and gallery facades were designed by Gerkan, Marg and Partner.

Deutsche Shell AG commissioned the building in 1968 to bring together its offices scattered across Hamburg in a single location. Construction was completed in 1974, marking the end of this consolidation effort.

A large Shell logo sculpture stands in front of the entrance, a reminder of the building's original occupant. The dark brown glazing and facade galleries were intended to signal an international standard, and the base opens onto landscaped inner courtyards that bring daylight into the lower floors.

The base links street level with the raised pedestrian level of City Nord, and the entrance hall, conference and training rooms sit on that upper level. The lower floors take daylight through large planted inner courtyards. The high-rise measures 120 m north to south and rises 55 m above street level.

The Shell logo sculpture in front of the entrance still recalls the building's original occupant, long after the company moved out in the late 1990s. The Hamburg-Mannheimer insurance company bought the complex and renovated it in the early 2000s.
