Allende-Platz 1

The Baroque Revival structure at Allende-Platz 1 features seven wall murals and a carriage relief above the main entrance in the Von-Melle-Park campus.

Built in 1908 for Schlüter & Söhne wagon company to house 200 horses and carriages, the building became part of Hamburg University in 1928 for 500,000 Reichsmark.

Jewish scholars Ernst Cassirer, William Stern, and Agathe Lasch conducted research here until 1933, when they were forced to leave during the National Socialist period.

The Social Sciences Study Office opens Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM and weekends from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

The building served as a shelter for Hamburg's Jewish population during World War II, while non-Jews used the large bunker across the street.
