28.10.2019 – The demolition of the above-ground parts of the old Deutschlandhaus has been completed on schedule. Now, the next heavy machinery has been brought to the site to produce the watertight shoring to protect the building pit which reaches a depth of up to ten metres. This work will start at the beginning of November.
The history of the old Deutschlandhaus, in its very prominent position on Hamburg’s Gänsemarkt, is impressive. But an appropriate modern and economic usage of the spaces in the existing building was no longer possible. Therefore, after intensive discussions and consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of the retention of the existing building, the decision was taken to demolish it and construct a new building.
