The Sprinkenhof, a nine-story office building, exemplifies Brick Expressionism and is a key part of Hamburg's Kontorhaus District. Designed by architects Hans and Oskar Gerson and Fritz Höger, the structure spans the entire area between Altstädter-, Burchardstraße, and Johanniswall. Its façade features button-like symbols representing crafts, trade, industry, and maritime themes.
