In the shape of a curved barette this modern building offers office accommodation in exposed position for firms of every kind. A restaurant with a large look out terrace opened in the upper floor. From here you have a great view over the Kiel fjord.
The old town hall of Kiel was built between 1907 and 1911 and is since then home of the urban administration. The art nouveau main front and the high, quadratic tower are forming the town’s landmark. Every hour a glockenspiel is playing in the 106 metre high tower, which is accessible by foot. The opera house is located in the direct neighbourhood. Today there is also a “new town hall” located in the Andreas-Gayk-Street 31.
Kiel central station is the second largest station in Schleswig-Holstein and starting point for trips to Hamburg, Lübeck, Flensburg and Husum. It is located directly at Kieler Förde and a few meters away from the ferry pier to Göteborg and Oslo. The station is a railway terminus with a three-naved station hall. Between 1999 and 2006 was the station redesigned and modernized. The old emperor staircase in the eastern part of it was rebuilt, too.
