Kaispeicher
A quay storage facility is a building where, due to its location on a quay, larger ships, especially ocean-going vessels, could dock directly and goods could be stored. They were in contrast to other storage facilities , which were only filled after transshipment via quay sheds and carriage or rail transport via land or after reloading to barges or ewer via water.
The most famous former Kaispeicher are in the Port of Hamburg , in today's HafenCity . The Kaispeicher A stood on a courtyard between Sandtorhafen and Grasbrookhafen and was converted into the Elbphilharmonie , which opened in 2016 . The Kaispeicher B at Magdeburg Harbor is home to the Maritime Museum . It is Hamburg's oldest building in the free port and was built in 1878/79 according to plans by the architects Wilhelm Emil Meerwein and Bernhard Georg Hanssen . Further quay storage facilities were built in the ports of Altona and Harburg , for example the Altona quay storage facility .
