Looking up the Brahms Kontor's spiral staircase, Hamburg, Germany
The Brahms Kontor is a building complex in Hamburg Neustadt. It was built between 1903 and 1931 in three phases. Art Deco lamps, colorful tiles and an impressive staircase eye make the Brahms Kontor become an example for the outstanding architecture of the Weimar Republic. Only in 2005 did the building receive its current name, Brahms Kontor, in homage to composer Johannes Brahms who was born in Hamburg in 1833. Although he lived most of his life in Vienna, he was named an honorary citizen of Hamburg in 1889.
