WE ARE CLOSED DUE TO BOREDOM
Hamburg, 31 Dec 2008
The higher the buildings get the less sky remains visible and the room for spontaneity becomes increasingly condensed.
Our motivation for this website was always to support a spontaneous expression of the people as the HafenCity took shape. Unfortunately, we are disappointed by the lack of anything permitted to happen here, apart from some strictly regulated events, solely providing a decorative backdrop for investor relations activities.
For this reason we will no longer update the content on this website until we notice something worth reporting.
