Construction project "IPANEMA" on the site of the former Post office - pyramid in the City-Nord in Hamburg
It is a demolition for the departure: In Hamburg's City Nord the preparations for the demolition of one of the most striking buildings have begun. The post office - pyramid at Überseering evades a new building complex under the project name "Ipanema" with 520 apartments, offices and shops - an unmistakable sign of the Renaissance of the office town from the 1960s.
The Post office - pyramid, the former seat of the regional post office administration (completion: 1977), is a massive yet sublime building, with 1400 employees. Aroused as "monkey rock", the building was always regarded as a symbol for the soulless concrete architecture of the time. Others praise it as a conservative architectural relic of brutalism. The 14-storey house is not a protected monument, only the city north as a whole.
