The Condor at the Bow

The Chilehaus looks like an ocean liner made of millions of dark bricks. Its owner made his fortune with saltpetre from Chile. That is why an animal guards the bow that lives nowhere else in Hamburg.

Henry B. Sloman emigrated to Chile as a young man and returned as one of Hamburg's richest citizens. His fortune came from saltpetre, shipped around the world as fertiliser and for explosives. The Chilehaus was built from 1922 to 1924, in the middle of hyperinflation. Since 2015 it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
