The so called "Perlenkette" (strip of pearls) represents a long row of architecture projects on an un-deep stroke of land along the northern margins of the river Elbe. At the Hamburg fish market, where on Sunday mornings all kinds of goods, including fish, are being sold, an old malt factory has been converted into a retail center for interior design. Former warehouses and silos provide space to apartments, offices and restaurants.

At the Elbberg (a slope from a higher level to the river bank) the Hamburg based architecture firm Bothe Richter Teherani has realised three very particular buildings all dealing with the specific site in very special way.

The western end of the "Perlenkette"is marked by a couple of u-shape office buildings, situated on an artificial dike. During this tour one can constantly enjoy the tremendous views on the water and the harbour opposite. After the tour it is the possible to take a river boat back to the city centre and experience the architecture also from the water perspective.
