„Klöpperhaus“ in Hamburg, 1912–1913

The Klöpperhaus (Hamburg, Mönckebergstraße 3) was built in 1912-13 for the wool merchant Heinrich Adolf Klöpper. Its architect was Fritz Höger. It functioned as a Kontorhaus or office building. In 1966-1967, it was altered into a department store, but its original facade was preserved.
