The district Grindelviertel is located in the centre of Hamburg. Main parts of the University of Hamburg are built in this part of the city. Before the terrible reign of Hitler the Grindelviertel was home to many Jews. To some degree it still is the centre of jewish life in Hamburg. The diversity of the Grindelviertel is reflected in its architecture.

resonanzraum
Feldstraße 66 - 20359 HamburgSituated right in the heart of St. Pauli, the resonanzraum - or room for resonance - is simultaneously the Ensemble's rehearsal room and a space for experimenting with new concert ideas.
Large revolvable iron doors control the room's acoustics and provide a high level of freedom and flexibility with regard to the way the venue is used. Bare concrete walls are testament to its history, while the large, luminous bar, warm wooden flooring and openness of the room make it both inviting and inspiring.
The Feldstraße bunker in St. Pauli is one of the largest multi-storey air raid shelters in Europe, and at 39 metres certainly the highest in Hamburg. It was built in 1942 in just 300 days under Albert Speer, and during World War II offered protection to up to 25,000 people. After the war, it was converted largely out of necessity, for as Ulrich Stock reports, writing in die ZEIT, »in 1954 it was impossible to blow the shelter up, because half of St. Pauli would have been blown up with it.«
In 1950, the broadcaster NDR transmitted its first TV signal from the building, marking the beginning of a new phase in which it would be used a hub for media and music.Following on the heels of NDR, various educational establishments and nightclubs moved into the bunker, and today it is home to a wide variety of institutions, associations and initiatives. It provides the perfect surroundings for a concert hall, supplying inspiration and creating numerous synergy effects. Situated between the Schanzenviertel, Karolinenviertel and St. Pauli districts, and overlooking the stadium and the Dom fairground, the bunker is rooted right in the middle of the city's urban centre, and, as a breeding ground for new ideas, makes a major contribution to Hamburg's cultural life.
Hamburger Dom
Heiligengeistfeld - 20359 HamburgThree times a year, the traditional Hamburg funfair, the "Dom", takes place on the “Heiligengeistfeld”, a 29-hectare open space. The fair was named after the medieval Christmas market held at the St. Marien Dom, the St. Marien cathedral. A Ferris wheel, old merry-go-rounds and various stalls are spread out on a vast area. There are fireworks every Friday evening at the end of the day.
Hanseatisches Oberlandesgericht
Sievekingplatz 2 - 20355 HamburgThe Sievekingsplatz is dominated by the historic dome-shaped Hanseatic supreme court building dating from 1907 to 1912. It is flanked by the Civil Law Court, built of sandstone and yellow brick, and the red-brick Criminal Law Court. Representative of the spirit of that time are the enormous reception halls of the three imposing turn-of-the century buildings symbolising the awe in which the law was to be held.
Strafjustizgebäude
Sievekingplatz 2 - 20355 HamburgThe Criminal Law Court, built of yellow brick and sandstone between 1879 and 1882, is a German Renaissance building. At the back of the building lies the prison. A new wing was added between 1927 and 1929 using red clinker to create a rather solemn atmosphere.
