The Grindelhochhäuser are a striking ensemble of twelve residential high-rises built between 1946 and 1956 in Hamburg's Harvestehude district. As the first residential high-rises in Germany post-1945, they symbolize the post-war reconstruction era. Designed by prominent architects such as Bernhard Hermkes and Ferdinand Streb, they are now protected as a heritage monument.
