HAMBURG PRESS TRIP 02.08.-05.08.2018 02.08. THURSDAY Recommendation: Enjoy the Reeperbahn on your own hAFEMcI The Reeperbahn is a living legend – once a seedy red-light quarter for seafarers and ne’er-do-wells, then during the 1960s and 1970s, a springboard for pop culture and the Beatles of the Wirtschaftswunder, but also a deeply Germanic El Dorado for stolen moments of fleeting, uninhibited sex tourism. Yet since the 1990s, the red-light district has been transformed into something quite different – offering drinking and clubbing en masse alongside art galleries, cabarets and theatres, established theatres, gaudy palaces for musicals and even classy restaurants.

FRIDAY Elbphilharmonie Plaza tour with panorama view over the city & UNESCO World Heritage hAFEMcI 11:00 A.M. A bold glass structure is rising above the historic Kaispeicher A, a monumental redbrick block at the western tip of HafenCity Hamburg. An architectural vision has become reality – the Elbphilharmonie concert hall is Hamburg’s new cultural landmark. The design by Swiss star architects Herzog & de Meuron combines tradition and modernity just where the Hanseatic city is at its most authentic: directly on the water and in the heart of the city. The Speicherstadt is the world's largest historic warehouse complex. It extends over 26 hectares in the heart of Hamburg’s port and comprises 17 building complexes in the style of Gothic red-brick, with more than HAMBURG PRESS TRIP 02.08.-05.08.2018 300,000 m2 of storage area. High-value goods such as coffee, tea, cocoa, spices, tobacco, and, in recent decades, oriental carpets, have been stored behind the thick walls of these warehouses. In addition to its architectural highlights, tourism venues such as the Hamburg Dungeon, the Speicherstadtmuseum and the Miniatur Wunderland – the world's largest miniature railway – make the Speicherstadt one of Hamburg’s tourism hotspots. Situated just opposite, the Kontorhaus District in the south of Hamburg's old town went down in architectural history as Continental Europe’s first business district. The ensemble is built in the 1920s and 1930s under the baton of Fritz Schumacher. The Chilehaus, which is reminiscent of a ship's bow, represents the most significant artistic and architectural achievement of German Brick Expressionism. It strongly influenced brick architecture of the 1920s and 1930s in Northern Europe and is also one of Germany’s first high-rise buildings.

  • The Brick Face of Modernism and Architecture of Gustav Oelsner
    MAŁGORZATA KOSTRZEWSKA BARTOSZ MACIKOWSKI Politechnika Gdańska THE BRICK FACE OF MODERNISM AND ARCHITECTURE OF GUSTAV OELSNER Abstract: There are many reasons that make the work of Gustav Oelsner worth to present. One of the reasons is comparison of two diff erent ways of development of two cities, Gdynia (an exhibition of work of Gustav Oelsner was presented in Gdynia in April and May of 2011) and Altona, were Oelsner created his architecture. These two cities has grown at the side of their big neighbours, Gdansk and Hamburg. They are harbour cities and their full bloom took place in the beginning of XX century, in the time of revolutionary changes in architec- ture and urbanism. It gives possibility to compare two diff erent faces of Modernism. It gives also chance to compare contemporary reception and the problem of protection of heritage of Modernism. Next important reason is the question of a role of a City Architect in creating of contemporary image of a city. Gustav Oelsner was not only the administrator of problems connected with architecture. His social awareness and aesthetic sensitivity gave his vision of city development a timeless value, that makes Altona even now one of the most attractive parts of Hamburg. Oelsner’s life is a picture of dedication to architecture, but also a picture of complicated and diffi cult history of 20th century. He was persecuted because of his Jewish background and had to escape to Turkey during Second World War. What makes Oelsner particularly interesting in the history, is his brick architecture, original clinker façades that have no equivalent among other brick architecture works.

Berlin’s unique rebirth is an active and dynamic example of a redevelopment of a city in the attempt to realign itself as a global capital. Its changed landscape during the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first century promotes an ethereal metropolis developing new prototypes for living. The vast array of experimentation spanning three major territorial shifts are critical to these radical transformations. Prewar, postwar and unification have generated a collage of new visions implementing urban forms within distinct neighborhoods. Extensive comparisons have been made between Chicago and Berlin during the turn of the century. In 1891 Mark Twain visited Berlin and published his experience in the New York Sun “The German Chicago” stating “Berlin is the European Chicago”. He described the city as “the newest I have ever seen”(Twain 88/89). At this time, Berlin was compared to Chicago both by its range of development and its speed of growth. It had changed from a historical city to a new age metropolis.
