HafenCity is a quarter in the borough Hamburg-Mitte of Hamburg, Germany.
HafenCity Hamburg is a project of city-planning where the old harbourquarters of Hamburg are built on with offices, hotels, shops, official buildings and residential areas. The project is one of the largest rebuilding projects in Europe in the 21st century. The area of the HafenCity used to be part of the free port, but with the decreased economic importance of free ports in an era of European Union free trade, large container ships and increased border security, the Hamburg free port was reduced in size, removing the current HafenCity area from its restrictions. When completely developed it will be home to about 12.000 people and the workplace of 40.000 people mostly in office complexes. The prospect for completion is not very clear but will probably be around 2020-2030.
History
On March 1, 2008 due to a law of Hamburg the neighborhood HafenCity was assigned the official status of a quarter.[1]
Education
The area is served by the Katharinenschule, an elementary school.[2] It will also be the future home of HafenCity University, a new school focusing on architecture and urban planning.[3]
Culture
The city of Hamburg has been building a new concert hall on top of an old warehouse since 2007, to be called the Elbe Philharmonic Hall. The project was supposed to be a new landmark for the city, but has been plagued by vast cost overruns and is currently about three years behind schedule. It is scheduled to be opened by 2013.[4]
Economy
The area is currently home to the German headquarters of both Kühne & Nagel, an international shipping conglomerate, and Unilever.[5] The Spiegel Group is building its new headquarters on the Ericusspitze and Greenpeace is expected to open its new headquarters in Hafencity by 2011. The Hamburg-America Center opened its doors in 2009.[6]
Infrastructure
The Honorary Consulate of the Kyrgyz Republic (Kirgisistan) established in Hamburg in 1995 is located in the street Am Sandtorkai 77.[7]
Transportation
The area will be served by a newly constructed underground line, the U4, to be completed by 2011. The line will feature two new stations Überseequartier and Hafencity University.[8]
