Central Hamburg's district council has a staff of around 1000 people and recently moved into the former offices of the Axel Springer publishing house, where they have now opened their new service centre. Next to the historic Axel Springer listed building from 1956 stands an office building which was built between 1989 and 1996 (building section C) and which the architect's office pbr AG has now adapted to suit the individual needs of the district council to offer staff a modern working environment.
