The fish auction hall in Hamburg-Altona was built in 1895/96 in Altona at the newly built fishing port on the Elbe to enable auctioning, trading and shipping of fish landed there. In addition, the building was used for the storage and repair of fishing gear and the distribution of ice. Since its restoration in 1984, the hall has served as a venue for events. The steel girder building, which is infilled with brickwork, has been a listed building since 1984 and testifies to the importance of the fish trade in the formerly competing cities of Hamburg and Altona.

Hammaburg-Platz is an open space of about one hectare in size and mostly green in the center of Hamburg. The square, which has been known as Domplatz since the demolition of the medieval St. Mary's Cathedral (1804–06), is considered a culturally and historically significant place for the city: On the one hand, the Hamburg Cathedral stood here for centuries and later the new building of the Johanneum and the State Library, which was destroyed in the Second World War. On the other hand, the remains of the early medieval Hammaburg have long been suspected under the square and have recently been excavated. In February 2024, the Hamburg-Mitte district assembly therefore decided to rename the square Hammaburg-Platz. The formal renaming was carried out in August 2024 by Senator for Culture Carsten Brosda, District Office Manager Ralf Neubauer and Rainer-Maria Weiss, State Archaeologist and Director of the Archaeological Museum Hamburg.
