Speicherstadt is a historic warehouse district in Hamburg, Germany. It was built between 1883 and 1927 on a group of islands formed by the Elbe River and its canals. The warehouses were built on oak piles driven into the ground to support the buildings, as the soil is unstable and prone to flooding.

The Speicherstadt was once an important hub of international trade, particularly in coffee, tea, spices, and carpets. The warehouses were designed with distinct architectural features that reflect the products stored inside. The district is home to several museums, including the Hamburg Dungeon, the Spice Museum, and the Miniature Wunderland.

The Speicherstadt is a UNESCO World Heritage site, recognized for its unique architecture and cultural significance. Today, the warehouses have been converted into offices, apartments, and tourist attractions. Visitors can take a boat tour through the canals and admire the red-brick buildings and intricate architecture.
