About Gastwerk Hotel Hamburg
- Gastwerk's red brick shell began as a Hamburg gasworks built between 1892 and 1895, lighting the city's western districts before generation ceased in the 1930s.
- After decades storing crude benzene and housing an animal feed mill, the monument became Hamburg's first design hotel when it opened in January 2000.
- Architect Klaus Peter Lange preserved a massive green industrial machine from the power station era, integrating it into the atrium lobby beneath a suspended bridge to guestrooms.
- The hotel's six hundred square meter brick atrium once served as the gasworks coal bunker, capable of holding five thousand tons of coal beneath its loft-like volume.
- Hotel visionary Kai Hollmann inspired the conversion, and antique milling equipment from the site's feed factory days now forms a bar in the Denk.mal conference area.
