The Speicherstadt in Hamburg lists Carl Johann Christian Zimmermann as architect and Franz Andreas Meyer as engineer in the infobox, while the text credits Meyer with the Neo-Gothic brick outer layer and does not mention Zimmermann. The infobox names the city as owner, and the text says the Freihafen-Lagerhaus-Gesellschaft managed construction. The infobox gives 1883 to 1927 and an opening in 1888, but the text says construction was completed before World War I.
The infobox lists Gothic Revival. The warehouses are red brick on timber-pile foundations of oak logs. The site is 4,921 by 820 feet (1,500 by 250 m), covering 26 hectares, with about 630,000 square meters of floor area.
Operation Gomorrah destroyed about half of the buildings, and rebuilding finished in 1967. It became part of HafenCity in 2008 and a UNESCO site on July 5, 2015. The article gives no hours.
