Glockengießerwall 8-10
20095 Hamburg
The main train station was built between 1899 and 1906. Located in the former moat of the city"s fortification, the station has an arched glass and iron roof. On the north side of the hall, the Wandelhalle, a promenade with shops on two floors was added between 1988 and 1991. The area includes an expressionist flower shop of 1925 with its beautiful decor of green and golden majolica tiles. The hall and its tudor-style construction with low side aisles echoes the "Halle des Machines" in the World Exhibition in Paris in 1889. Restrained renaissance elements integrated into the facade, demanded by Kaiser Wilhelm II, almost disappear behind the rough grey stone of the facade.
