Speicherstadt in Hamburg, Germany is
the largest warehouse district in the world. The complex was built in 1883. The
warehouses are built on oak piles and the district is crossed by what are known
as fleets - canals that are flooded depending on the tides and can then also be
travelled by ship. One of the fleets on this postcard is Hollandfleet.

Beautiful city.
