The Place:
Since 2005, the Kontorhaus at Johannes Brahms-Platz in the Neustadt in Hamburg has been called Brahms Kontor. It was built between 1903 and 1931 in several construction sections of the German National Association of Action Aids. The 55-meter-high high-rise building with its 15 floors, which was built in 1927-1931, was at that time the tallest profane building in Hamburg.
The Person:
Johannes Brahms (7 May 1833 – 3 April 1897) was a German composer and pianist. Born in Hamburg into a Lutheran family, Brahms spent much of his professional life in Vienna, Austria. His reputation and status as a composer is such that he is sometimes grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven as one of the "Three Bs" of music, a comment originally made by the nineteenth-century conductor Hans von Bülow.
