History & Context

Hamburg's new class The hotel between the harbor and the Reeperbahn Like a lighthouse, the imposing, bronze-clad hotel tower rises in the middle of the circle between the Reeperbahn, the harbor and the Speicherstadt and elegantly fits into the city skyline above the Elblauf. The construction of the Empire Riverside Hotel on the “Bavaria” area has been finished. But the history of this piece of land began much earlier. The engineer for fortress planning designed Hamburg in the years from 1615 – 1625 as it is still found today. A certain piece of land, the now called “Bavaria”-area was originally not allowed to be covered with buildings as it should serve as “Glacis”, a battlefield in case of war. Later the area was used to cultivate vegetables.
