This two-story timber-framed building is one of the most valuable landmarks in Hamburg's inner harbor. Built in 1827, this stately warehouse no longer stores food and seeds, but now serves as a unique event location. Across two floors, 50 to 500 guests have plenty of room to celebrate in a wonderful atmosphere. Looking out the windows, you get a gorgeous view of the water, topped only by the outdoor area with its jetty. A beautiful location with historic charm, we're more than delighted!

Where? Blohmstraße 22, 21079 Hamburg

2. KURHOTEL ST. PAULI

A small house right on Große Freiheit, that's the legendary Kurhotel. The Beatles are said to have partied here. On the cozy rooftop terrace, you can not only grill wonderfully, but also watch the colorful hustle and bustle on the Reeperbahn. The interior impresses with a lounge and club area. The latter features a bar, a DJ booth, and of course a dance floor. This party venue offers versatile ways to use the space and truly has cult status, and any partygoer can move straight on to one of the numerous nearby bars and clubs.

Housed in the listed Kaispeicher B, the International Maritime Museum spans ten floors. Its fascinating exhibition covers 3,000 years of maritime history and ocean research. Hamburg's oldest warehouse building also offers four different event spaces for rent. For summer corporate parties, Deck 10 and the Fleet Lounge are especially well suited. The former is located in the attic and includes two levels, each with a rooftop terrace offering breathtaking views over the Elbe and the city center. The Fleet Lounge is well suited to smaller celebrations and boasts a generous terrace right by the water. A summer party at the Maritime Museum promises plenty of Hamburg flair.

Right beneath the Elbphilharmonie, the MS Seute Deern has dropped anchor. Since 2014, this event ship has had its mooring in the city's well-known historic ship harbor. Whether firmly docked or out on a cruise, the Seute Deern guarantees a great party. Its large main and panoramic deck, along with a modernized interior, offer plenty of space. By the way, this former seaside excursion ship isn't just a popular event location, it's also Germany's first coworking space on the water. The Seute Deern stands for maritime charm and an unforgettable experience on the Elbe that your colleagues will remember for a long time.

Just 30km from the city center, you'll find yourself at the idyllic Hof Eggers. Here it's all about pure nature, and definitely not a classic event location. For 20 years now, this farm has followed the principles of organic farming. You'll celebrate surrounded by happy animals and plenty of fields. You can rent the charming farm café or the large bakehouse with an awning. A relaxed evening by the campfire is just as possible at Hof Eggers as an open-air party with a DJ. In good weather, you can truly unwind here.
