Kaispeicher B

The ten-story brick Kaispeicher B structure stands by the water with its Gothic Revival façade featuring gables, cornices, and pointed arches.

Built in 1879 as a grain silo, Kaispeicher B served as a floor storage facility from 1884 until 2003 before becoming Hamburg's International Maritime Museum.

The International Maritime Museum within Kaispeicher B presents extensive collections that document Hamburg's maritime history and its role as a global port.

Museum visitors can access the building through a pedestrian bridge to the north, with shops, a café, and a restaurant located in the public passage.

During renovation, workers manually removed, examined, and reinstalled 50,000 bricks to maintain the building's historical authenticity while adding modern amenities.
