🔊 Listen to this Post Like a ship sits the six-story office building on a plot of land, 40 meters out over the river Elbe in Hamburg. It can only be reached by a large staircase on the land side, the board is open to the public, and has on top a nearly 500 square meter wide roof terrace with a good view over the harbor and the northern shoreline. It is also a popular photo opportunity due to its distinctive architecture. The roof terrace is not wheelchair and handicapped accessible because it has no publicly accessible lift.

The ground floor is used as a parking area, so that it may be flooded by the Elbe. The five-storey of office space follows a mezzanine floor with a viewing platform. The Dockland was designed by “BRT Architekten Bothe Richter Teherani”. It was built by Robert Vogel GmbH & Co. KG. The approximately 25-meter-high glass building with a steel structure and 6,500 square meters of floor space has cost 30 million euros.

The name, Dockland, was chosen based on the restored docks in London. Together with the Elbkaihaus and Elbbergcampus, Dockland forms a small office city on the Elbe.

Dockland was completed in 2005 as a parallelogram-shaped building near the former England ferry terminal. 2003, a plot between the former fishing port, Fischereihafen, and the river Elbe was built/filled for the office building into the river. The inauguration ceremony was held on 31 January 2006.
