"This Old Hamburger Mansion is one of the last Baroque buildings in Hamburg. It was built in 1761-62 as a new front building and brewery. The narrow land originally extended to the road Zippelhaus. Additions to today's customs channel and a former Fleet during the East-West road allowed the transport of goods by water.
The house was formerly at the close Gröningerstraße. The east-west road was 1953-63 by the 2nd World War destroyed downtown broken."
And there is your very 1st German translation! I won't do much writing on this post, just think of it like a tour with very little side chat. Yes, a tour! Now on your right we have...
"1900 designed by George Radel built as a (hotel, rental house). 1906 expands on the east side.
Two courtyard wings lead from the front building and parallel to the rear. They correspond to the long land of the former inner dike houses on the entire block. The well preserved building has a sandstone facade with Art Nouveau decor. Asian motifs refer to trade with the Far East. The impressive entrance hall has skylight, tiled walls, a marble staircase with Art Nouveau railings and laterally located elevators."
Please watch your step, these cobble stone roads can be dangerous if you're not paying close attention. (I'd make a good tour guide)
"1857-59 the harbor road on the River Elbe. in St. Pauli was built between Landugsbruken and Pinnasberg (Name of places). For this purpose, it was situated near the main factories, shipyards, and storage centers. To make this happen residential buildings had to be demolished. In 1862 stone steps were built leading down to the street from other residential buildings. Of the historic floor houses on the north side, particularly the homes that parallel Bernhard-Nocht-Street and the banks of the Elbe River of St. Pauli, only a few remain.
In 1981-83 more construction near the River Elbe."
The houses No. 49/50 were built around 1780, Nr.51/58 at the beginning of the 19th century.
The ground floor apartments and the upper floor have a private entrance, respectively."
Now allow me to show you just how great of a tour guide I would be... =]
The Gothic Revival Church of St. Nikolai was originally founded in the 12th century, as a chapel dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors. The first church was lost in The Great Fire of 1842*. It was formerly one of the five main Lutheran churches in the city of Hamburg. The second church that was built in 1845-8 lies now in ruins, with only its spire remaining, serving as a memorial and an important architectural landmark. The current Church of St. Nikolai is the result of the bombing of Hamburg in World War II.
