Rudolf Klophaus, Dorfmüller Klier · City Hof, Hamburg

Dorfmüller Klier

The City Hof was built in 1958 according to the plans of the Architect Rudolf Klophaus along the street Klosterwall in Hamburg. The City Hof is a typical building of International Post War Modernism. The City Hof stands adjacent to the historic Kontorhausviertel with prominent buildings such as Chile House and Sprinkenhof.
In a long controversy if this prominent building should be torn down or converted, the City of Hamburg decided to tear it down and build a large dense brick block. Although GMP Architects (Gerkan Marg and Partners) made a prominent plan for converting the City Hof into Student Appartments, the City Hof is being torn down in 2019.
