The Speicher am Kaufhauskanal hosts conferences, presentations, small trade shows, company parties, weddings and cultural events for about 50 to 400 guests. Its event space covers more than 800 m² on two floors, with a terrace directly on the canal. The listed timber-framed warehouse stands on Blohmstraße in the Harburg harbor, in the south of Hamburg.
Seminars and company events
For business events, the open floor plan allows several setups: theater rows for a lecture, stands for a trade-fair format, or a workshop area with tables. The event hall has a mobile stage, and a large foyer with a bar on the ground floor handles registration, coffee breaks and the evening reception. Event technology, furniture and catering come from partner companies that the venue works with, so organisers deal with one contact for the whole package. The building has its own parking, step-free access and public transport links. The size suits a kickoff, a customer day, a product presentation, a summer party or a year-end celebration.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold a civil ceremony or a free ceremony on site, then move to dinner and the party without changing venue. The terrace on the canal serves the reception. Seating, decoration, catering and planning are arranged with the venue's partners, and the space adapts to small, medium or large weddings. Birthdays and other private parties are also hosted.
Rooms and capacities
The building offers more than 800 m² of event space over two floors. On the ground floor, the foyer with its bar opens onto the event hall with the mobile stage. Outside, a large area runs partly along the water. The venue gives an overall range of about 50 to 400 guests and does not publish a capacity per room, so organisers should state the format, seated or standing, in their request.
Catering
Catering is provided with partner companies, supported by modern kitchen and event equipment in the building. Organisers can discuss menus, buffets and drinks with the team as part of the event plan.
History and setting
Built in 1827, the warehouse stored goods moving between ships and land transport, and the venue describes it as Hamburg's oldest large warehouse. In 1881 it was taken down and rebuilt piece by piece on its current site. Original wooden beams, winches, loading hatches and scales remain in place and give the rooms their character. The building was restored between 2013 and 2015 and fitted with current event technology. It is a protected monument. The setting on the water, a short distance from the center of Harburg, makes the terrace the natural focus of summer events.
Getting there
Hamburg-Harburg station, served by S-Bahn and long-distance trains, is within walking distance. Hamburg Airport is the nearest airport. The venue has parking on site for guests arriving by car.
