These two Kontorhäuser, to be found at Nikolaifleet, are the only two of their kind to survive World War II. The Laeiszhof, which dates from 1897-98, is the older of the two buildings. The Globushof is a brick building with a facade made less formal by the sandstone divisions it depicts. Copper models of ships, which look extremely impressive, top its spires and the facades are decorated with sculptures of Wilhelm I and Bismarck. The Laeisz-Shipping Company's Ships, such as Pamir and Passat, were regarded as the world's fastest.
