Exhibition hall along the Hamburger "Kunbstmeile"
Since 1962 is the "Kunsthaus Hamburg" an exhibition hall for contemporary art. The former market hall is located in the middle of St. Georg in between the Central station and the Deichtorhallen. The renting of the Kunsthaus Hamburg costs 1500 euro per day. But if you woud like to rent it more than one day the renting is negotiable.
The Kunsthaus Hamburg owns a 500 qm. exhibition hall with 4 pillars and a much smaller 120 qm. foyer. In combination with a big event the foyer is the perfect place for a snack bar or a welcome. But it´s also possible to rent the foyer separately.
In 1913/14 Markthalle Hamburg was built in a typical hanseatic style by Fritz Schumacher. It first served as a market hall for vegetable and later for flowers. After World War 2 it was a storage for the post for a few years. After this periode the old building stood empty until a group of investors recovered the potential of this central situated location. Since 1977 Markthalle Hamburg is a meeting place for a wide range of popular culture. Its central position, the excellent technique equipping, the infrastructure of the house as well as the experience of curatorial work are very attractive to artists and those who are involved in culture.
This underground bunker was built in 1942 to offer shelter to 2702 people. Like other bunkers in Hamburg, it was renovated in the 1960s and fixed up as a civil-defence-room for the Cold War. It is divided into a northern and a southern wing. The longest corridors measure about 80 meters. On all three levels there are rows of seats with luggage racks or bunk beds fitted into the rooms. These can be disassemble when require.
The Deichtorhallen near the harbour and the main station, great halls each of 5,000 square metres, were built between 1911 and 1914 on the Deichtorplatz as a central market. One can admire the characteristic steel and brick construction used at the time. The three beautiful halls were carefully rebuilt and renovated and, since 1989, function as an exhibition centre for modern art. Various pieces of art, amongst them a sculpture by Richard Serra, are exhibited on the enormous square.
