The Hamburger Kunsthalle on Glockengießerwall in Hamburg's Altstadt has a main building by Georg Theodor Schirrmacher and Hermann von der Hude, built from 1863 to 1869. Fritz Schumacher designed the Kuppelsaal, built from 1914 to 1921, and Oswald Mathias Ungers designed the Galerie der Gegenwart, which opened in 1997. The article names no client.

The article names no style. The main building is red brick, and the Galerie sits on a monolithic base. The Galerie extension covers 5,600 square meters (60,000 sq ft). The infobox gives 1869 as the date established, while the text says the Kunsthalle was founded in 1850 and its collection dates to 1849.

The article mentions criticism over restitution in December 2023. It is an art museum with four sections and had 382,000 visitors in 2013. The article gives no hours or ticket details.
