Alter Wall 38, Hamburg

New city connection in the heart of Hamburg

The Alter Wall 38 building complex was built by Deutsche Post in the 1950s and 1980s as the head post office. The complex is located in the immediate vicinity of the town hall and the historic Alter Wall 2-32 building ensemble in a prime location in Hamburg’s city center.
Art-Invest Real Estate will completely modernize and carefully extend the future Alte Wall 38. The building will be significantly upgraded, for example by creating an attractive inner courtyard to provide natural light, and the office space will be developed into one of the most attractive in Hamburg’s city center. The modern mix of uses with a metropolitan flair is also likely to become another top attraction for Hamburg’s city center.

ALTER WALL 38 IN DETAIL

Working at the top

The Alter Wall 38 has been fully leased since 2023 and, upon completion, will welcome its two tenants to over 9,800 m² of office space on 9 floors as well as over 1,200 m² of restaurant space overlooking the Fleet. In the future, the “House of Parliament” will welcome the citizens of Hamburg in the open reception area on the first floor and offer the employees of the political parties and parliamentary groups a shared workplace in the heart of the city and right next to the City Hall. At lunchtime and in the evening, the old-established brewery will once again offer rustic delicacies and home-brewed beer. We warmly welcome our tenants “Haus der Bürgerschaft” and “Brauhaus Johannes Albrecht”.

The Brauhaus zum Fleet

The brewing water is bubbling again. The so-called “Brauhaus” is committed to the craft of brewing as well as excellent food in the ground floor rooms. Almost like in the 16th century – at that time Hamburg was called the brewery house of the Hanseatic League with 600 breweries. Brewing was considered a civic art, the Alsterfleet provided the water and the Bavarians has been the role model due to their purity law.

Forum for exchange

The building is a further milestone in our Alter Wall quarter with a mix of working, shopping and cultural worlds, directly opposite Hamburg City Hall, as well as the well-known shopping boulevards Neuer Wall, the small Binnenalster and the Fleet. A forum that has all the prerequisites to become a lively meeting place in the city center.
