Bücherhalle Kohlhöfen (Kohlhöfen library)
This building was constructed in 1908-09 from plans by
Hugo Groothoff for the first Hamburg public library, founded by the patriotic
association in 1899. The brick facade continues the Baroque in its Reformation
style.
Following the English mode, this library, for the
first time in Germany, permitted readers direct access to the books.
The building, severely damaged in 1945, was rebuilt
after the war.
