Speicherstadt und Chilehaus in Hamburg - Die Hochburg des Freihandels, Deutschland

Summary Until the end of 2002, one of the last European borders between Sicily and Hammerfest separates the "customs territory" of Hamburg's free port from the old town. Built in 1888 as the largest warehouse complex in the world, the Speicherstadt with its neighbouring "Chile House" has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since June 2015. The fact that at least the architectural substance of this ensemble, which is unique in the world, has been preserved, is ensured by the rigid requirements of the Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments and, since June 2015, the label "UNESCO World Cultural Heritage". The facades remain red, the roofs green, even at the first Speicherstadt Hotel, which opened in February 2014. One may call the scenery-strong evocation of a working world of yesterday success or, following the history of the Hanseatic merchant spirit, "fine profit".
