Euler Her­mes Campus

Hamburg

In Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, the new head office for Euler Hermes – Germany’s leading credit insurer – has been built. In addition to 1,200 office workstations, the new building includes an employee restaurant and café, a sports area and conference zones.

In urban-planning terms, the new building is aligned with the existing building. A generous forecourt was created at the corner of Bahrenfelder Kirchenweg and Gasstraße and opened to the public. A public cycle path and footpath was also created along the adjacent suburban railway tracks on the southern part of the site.

The typology of the six-storey building developed from the aim of providing an equally functional layout throughout. This is reflected in the floor plan, which takes the form of a quadrilateral building with two symmetrically arranged courtyards. The office workstations are located on the upper floors, while the ground and basement floors accommodate the building’s ancillary uses.

The façade is made of light-coloured brick, which is treated differently in its detailing and plays with the material’s design characteristics. Two storeys are visually combined in each instance, dividing the façade into three uniform sections.
