Wooden house
The Wooden House in Hamburg is an outstanding example of 17th century maritime architecture. Originally used as a warehouse, it now offers insights into the history of the Speicherstadt and its importance for trade. The building is made entirely of tar wood, which not only ensures its unique look but also ensures its longevity.
A tour of the adjacent warehouses and canals gives a feel for the industry of the time, while informative showcases and guided tours explain the development of the district. You can also admire the special construction and the engineering solutions that were necessary for flood protection.
A visit to the Wooden House allows you to experience the connection between tradition and modern city life up close. The central location makes it an ideal starting point for further explorations in the Speicherstadt and beyond. So plan enough time to discover this important part of Hamburg's history.
