  • Hamburg's Chilehaus Building Recognised by UNESCO
    Press Release Hamburg, 6 July 2015 Fund property granted World Heritage status: Hamburg's Chilehaus building recognised by UNESCO It has been on Germany's Tentative List for UNESCO World Heritage Site status for many years. Since Sunday, the Chilehaus building in Hamburg has now been officially recognised. Together with the Kontorhaus district and Speicherstadt warehouse district, the iconic office building was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site – the first of its kind in Hamburg. The decision by the World Heritage Committee acknowledges the exceptional universal value of this inner-city ensemble. Designed by Fritz Höger and commissioned by businessman Henry B. Sloman, the Chilehaus building was constructed between 1922 and 1924. When it opened on 1 April 1924, it was typical of the new style of office building (“Kontorhaus”) being built in Hamburg. The ten-storey office and commercial building has been part of the portfolio of open-ended real estate fund Unilmmo: Deutschland since 1993. The property is currently 90 per cent let. “This recognition is very special both for our investors and for us as the owner and asset manager of Chilehaus. After all, who else has a World Heritage Site in their portfolio, and one which has delivered excellent returns over many years?” said a delighted Dr. Reinhard Kutscher, Chairman of the Management Board of Union Investment Real Estate GmbH. The announcement is also a fitting present to mark the real estate fund company's 50th anniversary this year. “We aim to create sustainable value with our real estate investments – there is no better way to express that than with the label ‘World Heritage Site’.

  • Brahmfeld's City Quartet
    Brahmfeld’s City Quartet. „Surprisingly hanseatic“ for visitors of Hamburg. Good for small smartphones! The Binnenalster Jungfernstieg and Binnenalster are a happy uni- on of urban planning in the 19th century. The Great Fire of 1842, which destroyed almost the entire Neustadt, provided an opportunity for ingenious urban planners to plan a spacious city centre on the waterfront. The Jungfern- stieg, where Brahmfeld & Gutruf was located for 170 years in the Gutruf-building, is a Apple megastore today. Neuer Wall round the corner is a street of many fine stores. Everything here is hanseatic, surprising. The international district of Hamburg: Jungfernstieg, Neuer Wall, Große Bleichen The Neuer Wall has become the center of in- ternational business and therefore enters into competition with New Bond Street and Maxi- milianstraße. However, there are also traditio- nal clusters such as the “quadrant” Brahmfeld & Gutruf, Campbell and Felix Jud. The Fleets (town canals), the passages, the transverse axes are beautiful in this old quarter of the so-called Neustadt, which newly emerged after the great fire of 1842. Part of Hamburg‘s world heritage. The Kontorhaus district: The Chilehaus by Fritz Höger Now it is a UNESCO World Heritage: The Chile- Kontorhaus by Fritz Höger from the 1920s. This type of house, unique in the world, was initially created at Neuer Wall and Jungfernstieg. The Hildebrandhaus, where our shop is located, has one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau halls. Large office-Kontorhouses were built behind the town hall in the early 20th century. Fritz Höger’s Chilehaus is the icon of that time.
