Old Warehouses – Reminiscent Signs of the Port City

I-VII 24/7

The Danė embankment was dotted with warehouses already in the 16th century – this is evidenced by the oldest known view of the city dating back to 1535. The beginning of the 17th century saw brick residential houses and warehouses standing on Žvejų Street. In the first half of the 20th 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 18th-19th 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
