Tasteful friends: a six-room apartment in an Art Nouveau ibuilding in Hamburg, €2.275M

It's perfect. I love it.

Very nice, but too expensive for the actual size, no?

Also, the hall stairs look like the scenery of a Dario argento murder.

Give it to me now!

It’s actually Jugendstil, not Art Nouveau.

The outside reminds me of the building where Hercule Poirot had his flat. Haven't peeked inside yet. Thanks for the find OP!

I say.... Hastings

Beautiful, but very pricey for a two bedroom apartment.

Beautiful. The price is not high for nearly 2,000 sq. ft. in a nice area with high ceilings and a balcony (a rarity in an "Altbau"). And it has two gorgeous Kachelöfen heaters! Those alone are worth tens of thousands (not kidding, they're hand-set and very expensive).

I would take it in a minute if I liked Hamburg better. And had the cash, of course.

That's not Art Nuveau style OP.

The floor plan seems awful and I don't like the interior that much either.

meh

What are "original details" when the entire city was flattened in 1945?

pockets of Hamburg survived.

where r the gloryholes?

R4, the website says it's a "Traumhaftes Jugendstilgebäude mit stilvoller Fassade" but when you translate it, it translates to "Fantastic Art Nouveau building with stylish façade." That's probably the source of the confusion.

Thanks, R12.

It's called Art Nouveau in France and Belgium, also Horta style and various Dutch words in the Netherlands; Jugendstil in Germany and Austria (see also, Secession), or Czech Republic (plus they also use the term Art Nouveau); Modernismo in Spain (Modernism/Modernist style of Gaudi and others in Catalan) -- confusingly not at all what Americans think of as Modernism which is inventably something more Bauhaus-y; Stile Liberty or Stile Floreale in Italy; end-stage Arts & Crafts in England and Scotland, also Liberty Style, or Mackintosh or Glasgow Style; and so it goes, like a lamp or a toaster, it takes different names in different places.

Art Deco is much more Art Deco one place to another, Classcism is classcisim, but Art Nouveau is a style name that mutates one country to the next. A fully developed Brussels version can look different than what showed up in Glasgow or Paris or Prague or Vienna or Hamburg or Barcelona. It's just different regional expressions of someting identifiably similar one place to the next.

Jugendstil is the German word for Art Nouveau. The building has a neo classicistic facade though. Art Nouveau is a lot more playful and organic. Art Nouveau followed Neo Classical and sometimes the styles mix in architectural buildings though.

Isn’t this building where Hitler shot his niece Geli Raubel that he happened to be fucking or shitting on?

This is an apartment in Hamburg, not Munich R15.

R16 just joking,lol

My favorite apartment buildings in Hamburg are the extremely utilitarian brick dorm-like buildings that the survivors built from by reclaiming brick from the WWII rubble. Its very touching. Also they have held up quite well and are very very inexpensive, still. And not slums. Wholesome. Its important that cities in capitalist countries have these kinds of lodgings. Not everyone is a rich professional. German salaries are LOW.

Followed? What do you mean: in period of time? in style? Neoclassicism has been around practically since classicism. It's a style, not a period of time, though it was a prevailing style at certain periods of time.

In art there are periods of time (Georgian, VIctorian, Edwardian, Napoleonic Era) and styles (Art Nouveau, Neoclassicism), and sometimes people mix them up and use Victorian to describe a style, or Georgian, both of which are understood either way, just as you could use "Haussmann" as shorthand for either a style of architecture or an important time period in Paris, with examples of the style continuing beyond the period.

Art Nouveau didn't follow on the heels of any style as some stage in a progressive evolution. One style doesn't stop and another start; they overlap, they coexist, and they coexist with other styles. Styles don't die and another rises conveniently from the ashes, one after another.

Is there really that much difference between American and German salaries?

Don't argue with me R19, I'm an architect and I am European born.
