The story behind the image
Hamburg in Germany is known for its huge harbor. As the harbor gained importance, there was an increasing need for storage space, ideally close to the harbor and reachable by boat. And so these buildings were erected right next to the harbor to form the (now historic) “storage harbor”. They were used as intermediate storage for the goods that arrived from all over the world. The goods would get offloaded from the freighters onto smaller ships that could pass the channels between the storarge buildings and be securely stored until they would transported to their next destination. Today the buildings are used as office space, for theaters and for museums.
