The Danė embankment was dotted with warehouses already in the 16^th century – this is evidenced by the oldest known view of the city dating back to 1535. The beginning of the 17^th century saw brick residential houses and warehouses standing on Žvejų Street. In the first half of the 20^th century, the warehouse situated at Žvejų Str. 12 was known as the Germania-Speicher (German Warehouse), and the building next to it, at Žvejų Str. 8, as the Dange-Speicher (Danė Warehouse). Due to their architectural similarity, the townspeople nicknamed them Two Brothers. The ingenious names of Klaipėda warehouses recall the city’s desire to give meaning even to the architecture designed for practical purposes. In the 18^th-19^th centuries, the warehouses named Hermes, Leopard, Three Roofs, The Greater Warehouse, Charles’ Warehouse and Green Warehouse, as well as many other, operated here. The surviving buildings are like memory capsules that preserve traces of the prosperity of trade and narrate the story of the city whose face was shaped by the port. They remind us that even functional buildings can become witnesses to the history of the city that already back in those times was full of life and a special, dashing and open energy characteristic of the Klaipėda city.

Address: Žvejų Str. 12, Klaipėda
