The Deichtorhallen are centrally located in Hamburg, between the main railway station and HafenCity, and are among the most important exhibition venues for contemporary art and photography in Europe. The two historic halls – the Hall for Contemporary Art and the House of Photography – impress with their spacious, light-filled architecture in the style of early industrial halls. With their extensive exhibition spaces, the Deichtorhallen offer a unique setting for art experiences, events and cultural projects. The premises can be hired for external events such as receptions, dinners or presentations and, thanks to their central location, are exceptionally easy to reach.

Sustainability

What steps does the venue take to improve sustainability?

Recycling concept

As one of eleven museums, exhibition venues and memorial sites in Hamburg, we are committed to the central challenge of our time: the global transition to sustainability. Hamburg’s new climate protection targets aim to reduce the city’s emissions by 70 per cent by 2030 compared with 1990 levels. Net carbon neutrality is to be achieved by 2045. The cultural sector wants to – and must – make its contribution to this, without reducing access to art and culture for anyone. In the ‘Elf zu Null’ project, eleven institutions have joined forces to form a pioneering nationwide initiative, with the aim of taking joint responsibility and systematically and sustainably setting in motion the ecological transformation of their venues. Concrete action is always at the forefront of our efforts! Through our work, we aim not only to contribute to Hamburg’s climate targets, but also to safeguard the long-term viability of museums, exhibition venues and memorial sites as society as a whole moves towards climate neutrality.
