What to expect
The Chilehaus is a ten-story office building in Hamburg, Germany, and an example of the 1920s Brick Expressionism style of architecture. This large angular building is on a site of approximately 6,000 m2, spanning the Fischertwiete Street in Hamburg. It was designed by the German architect Fritz Höger and finished in 1924. The building has a reinforced concrete structure and has been built with the use of 4.8 million dark Oldenburg bricks. The sculptural elements in the staircases and on the facade were provided by the sculptor Richard Kuöhl. The building hosted 2 sets of paternoster lifts before being modernised in 1991. As part of Kontorhaus District, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015
