General information
Typehistoric monument
LocationHamburg

The Dammtorwache is a small building between Dammtordamm and the north entrance of the Stephansplatz subway station at the west end of the Dag Hammarskjöld Bridge, which remains after partial demolition in summer 2020. Unlike the surviving classical guard buildings at Millern- and Steintor, it never served as a gate guard, but was built as a police station in neo-Renaissance style with columns, capitals and triangular gables in 1878/79, long after the night gate was lifted, and was listed as a historic monument in 1972. Today it is used for gastronomic purposes[1]
