Görtz Palais

Hamburg, Germany 2020

Client: Quantum

The Görtz Palais on the Neuer Wall, in the centre of Hamburg, is an important building in the history of the city. The listed building was constructed as a grand house in 1710, and was the first building on the newly-created central street of Neuer Wall, within the 18th Century city extension. The building later functioned as the Town Hall during Napoleon’s Occupation, and subsequently became the headquarters of the police. It was largely destroyed in 1943, with only some parts of the ground floor and façade remaining, and was then rebuilt in the 1950s.
