Before becoming exhibition halls for art, the Deichtorhallen, built between 1911 and 1914, were used as a fruit, vegetable and flower market until 1984. Today, with a size of 5.600 sqm of exhibition space, the two Deichtorhallen are among the largest art spaces in Europe.
Exhibitions
The northern Deichtorhalle is devoted to contemporary art. Prominent here is the art of painters, sculptors and designers.

In addition, the photo archive of Spiegel magazine can be found in the Haus der Photographie. It is the largest accessible archive of journalistic research in Germany.
