The Deichtorhallen in Hamburg, Germany, is one of Europe's largest art centers for contemporary art and photography. The two historical buildings dating from 1911 to 1913 are notable examples of industrial architecture from the transitional period between Art Nouveau and 20th-century design, with their open steel-and-glass structures. Their architecture creates a backdrop for spectacular major international exhibitions.
In 2005 the southern hall was dedicated to the medium of photography, creating the House of Photography, which was conceived decisively by F. C. Gundlach.
