The Haus im Haus accommodates space for a center for individuals planning to set up business, meeting rooms, a club and exhibition space for the treasures of the Chamber of Commerces economics library – the oldest of its kind in the world.

A bridge on Level 2 connects the new structure with the Albert-Schäfer-Saal of the historical hall, serving as an extension for receptions, exhibition openings, or other events.

The top floors have a more private character. Much of the space is dedicated to the presentation of the valuable old books. The band of the historical bowed windows and the roof terrace, which is reached vial a small footbridge, afford strunning views of the City Hall and the roofs of the Hanse town.

The new structure is lit by an innovative lighting system developed by Stuttgart-based Nimbus Design in collaboration with Behnisch Architekten. The Haus im Haus is the first structure in the world that is completely lit by LED lamps.
