Dieser Artikel untersucht die Hamburger Speicherstadt und das angrenzende Kontorhausviertel als logistische Landschaften des späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit gezieltem Fokus auf die Planungsvorgänge, die der Nutzung des weltweit größten zusammenhängenden Lager- und Bürokom-plexes seiner Epoche vorausgingen und dessen Ausgestaltung kontinuierlich begleiteten, wird ein Prozess der konzeptionellen Neudeutung und praktischen Umwandlung bis dahin üblicher Transport- und Aufbewahrungstechniken deutlich, der es ermöglichte, globale Güter- und Kapitalströme effi zienter, fl exibler und zuverlässiger zu koordinieren. Angesiedelt zwischen Bau- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte, historischer Urbanistik, Raum- und Architekturtheorie, zeigt die vorliegende Analyse empirisch fundiert, wie sich transnationale Warenketten und Handelspolitiken der Ersten Globalisierung zu einem raumprägenden Wirkungsfeld operativer Logistik verdichteten. Dabei erkundet das methodische Vorgehen die prozessarchitektonische Ausgestaltung und rechtlichen Protokolle eines hochfunktionalen Stadtraums, dessen Akteure, Infrastrukturen und handelnden Institutionen beständig versuchten, eine Zeit entfesselter Warenfl üsse unter ihre Kontrolle zu bringen. This article examines Hamburgʼs Speicherstadt and the adjacent Kontorhausviertel as logistical landscapes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Turning the focus on the planning processes that shaped both the use and design of the world‘s then largest warehouse and office complex reveals a gradual reinterpretation and transformation of hitherto common transport and storage techniques allowing for a more efficient, flexible, and reliable way of coordinating the global flow of goods and capital. Situated between building and economic history, historical urban studies, spatial and architectural theory, this empirical analysis shows how transnational commodity chains and trade policies of the First Globalization condensed into a modulated space of operative logistics. The methodological approach explores the process architectures and the legal protocols of a highly functional urban space whose actors, infrastructures, and institutions constantly attempted to gain control in an era of unleashed commodity flows.
