The warehouse, called Kaiserspeicher, was built in 1875 but was destroyed in the Second World War.
In 1963, the ruins were blown up and a new warehouse was constructed in its place.
It was renamed Kaispeicher.
Until the 1990s, the Kaispeicher was used to store cocoa, tobacco and tea.
After ten years of development and over 850 million Euros later, the Elbphilharmonie was officially opened.
The facade of the Elbphilharmonie is made up of about a thousand curved glass windows.
The Elbphilharmonie has three concert venues.
In addition, there is the Kaistudio that allows for 170 visitors and is intended to serve educational activities.
