Hamburg airport was built for Zeppelins in 1911 and extended between 1926 and 1928. With a further enlargement and the opening of two new Terminals in 2005, Hamburg received a modern airport. The terminals, 39 metres in height and designed like the wing of a plane, are a striking glass and steel construction by the Hamburg architects, Gerkan, Brauer, Marg and Partners. Check-in desks of the different airlines are located in the departure lounge as well as travel agents, restaurants, conference rooms and offices which are also set on the upper terrace. A walkway for passengers, 500 metres in length, connects the terminals.
Since 1974 the"Winterhude Lichtspiele" are named MAGAZIN. It´s the oldest traditional cinema in Hamburg which is in action since 1938. The MAGAZIN is owning over 370 burgundy upholstery chairs, a big red velvet stage curtain, a stage of ca. 4 times 9 m and a blue-grey wallcovering. Besides it´s the only film theatre with a flat ground.The MAGAZIN is located in the middle of a 1925 constructed red - brick living area. The film theatre was offically used as a meeting room or as a canteen, but already in 1938 it was changed to a cinema. Today the building is under monumental protection and it was the first film theatre in the former british occupation zone which got back its licence for showing films in the public.
The concept for this office city was developed at the end of the 1950s and was, at that time, one of the largest and most ambitious projects in European civil engineering. With its office solitaires and generous spaces, City Nord has become a prominent and unique trademark in Hamburg's townscape.
