The seven-story building with the number 54, whose two building complexes extend between Neuer Wall and Bleichenfleet, was built in 1900.
After the destruction of the street-side part in the Second World War and its reconstruction, the house was for a long time a fixed instance in Hamburg’s cultural landscape: between 1953 and 1994, the actor Peter Ahrweiler ran his private theater “Kleine Komödie” here in the basement, where not only comedy plays were performed, but also people ate, drank, smoked and danced, sometimes all at the same time. In 2000, the building was completely renovated and has since been used in a variety of ways.
The building at number 54 has seen a lot in the more than one hundred and twenty years since it was built. During the renewed modernization, this fact was paid tribute to — with architectural sensitivity and with an appropriate name: The Roman numerals L and IV, which together form the house number, are not only a commitment to the proud location of Neuer Wall. They also reflect the building’s great history while breathing new life into it.
Facade Design Concept
The building’s facades are as multifaceted as its history.
The modernized section on the street side blends seamlessly into the ambience of the Neuer Wall. The generous window fronts, however, also provide bright spaces on each floor.
The rear of the building, on the other hand, which is located directly on the Bleichenfleet and can be admired from the bridge of the same name next door, is entirely based on the historical model of LIV Neuer Wall and, with its light-colored natural stones and decorative window moldings and frames, sets itself refreshingly apart from the neighboring buildings.
