Elbphilharmonie

The Elbphilharmonie (also known as Elphi for short ) is a concert hall in Hamburg that was completed in November 2016 . It was planned with the aim of creating a new landmark for the city and a “cultural monument for everyone”.The 110 meter high building in the HafenCity district is located on the right bank of the Norderelbe at the tip of the Großer Grasbrook between the mouths of the Sandtorhafen and Grasbrookhafen harbor basins. It was built using the shell of the former Kaispeicher A (built in 1963). A modern structure with a glass facade was placed on this base, which is intended to be reminiscent of sails , water waves , icebergs or a quartz crystal . The location at Kaiserhöft is characterized by the former industrial port use and the neo- Gothic brick architecture of the Speicherstadt . more
