Hamburg Wholesale Market
The Hamburg Wholesale Market is a wholesale market for food and flowers in Hamburg-Hammerbrook (formerly Hamburg-Klostertor ).
History of the wholesale market
Hop market
After the great Hamburg fire in 1842, the fruit and vegetable trade of the farmers from the Elbmarschen had to be organized at the hop market , which from then on was to take place twice a day. In 1889 the first extensions took place in the form of a basement to the market area.
Messberg
In 1907 a provisional, additional market place with landing facilities between the Messberg , the Deichtor and the old wall frame bridge was put into operation.
Deichtormarkt
As early as 1911, the old markets at Hopfenmarkt and Meßberg were closed and the new Deichtor market including the Deichtorhallen opened at Klostertor. In 1962 it moved to the new wholesale market hall in the south of Hammerbrook between the newly created Amsinckstrasse and the Oberhafen, so that Deichtorplatz could be redesigned as a traffic junction (eastern end of Ost-West-Strasse and southern end of Wallring and the Wallring tunnel ).
In the market hall on Klosterwall / Deichtorplatz there was still a market for groceries, the southern Deichtorhalle was used for the wholesale flower market. The northern part of the market hall on Klosterwall was also used for furniture and antiques, from the 1970s under the name “Markthalle” also for events, and the art association moved to the southern part after the end of the food market around 1990 .
In 1984 the wholesale flower market moved from the Deichtorhallen south of Deichtorplatz to a new building on Banksstrasse. These now vacant Deichtorhallen could be renovated some time later with funds from the Körber Foundation . In 1989 the renovated halls were opened as the Deichtorhallen cultural center for exhibitions and cultural events.
Hammerbrook
In 1954 the "Veiling Hamburg", a logistics company, was opened on the new premises in Hammerbrook. As early as 1958, under the direction of the architect Bernhard Hermkes, construction of the wholesale market hall began at the same location . The wholesale market was opened four years later. In 2017, the hall was designated by the Federal Chamber of Engineers as a historical landmark of civil engineering in Germany .
Monument protection
Both the Deichtorhallen and the halls on Hammerbrook are now listed , the latter as an example of prestressed concrete buildings in Hamburg. Further examples of prestressed concrete construction in Hamburg are the Audimax , the Alsterschwimmhalle and the Lübecker Straße underground station .
