Picture of the day

A night-time view of the Speicherstadt in Hamburg, Germany. Literally meaning "city of warehouses", the Speicherstadt was built from 1883 to 1927 and was intended as a free zone in which goods could be transferred without paying customs charges. It is the largest warehouse district in the world in which the buildings stand on timber-pile foundations.Photograph: Thomas Wolf

Extensive WWII damage omitted

The article fails to mention that the old warehouse district suffered significant damage in WWII bombing, and was later rebuilt:

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde durch die alliierten Luftangriffe (→ Operation Gomorrha) etwa die Hälfte der Bausubstanz zerstört. Der in weiten Teilen originalgetreue Wiederaufbau nach dem Krieg war 1967 abgeschlossen.[1] Sca (talk) 21:22, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rugs

I was told that the Persian rug activity in the warehouses is because they still are a free port. Is it so? --Error (talk) 23:16, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
