Welcome to the
Übersee-Club Hamburg
Established with the goal of "fostering Hamburg's status in the world", the club has always been one of the historic city's focal points, a venue that attracts outstanding minds from the worlds of commerce, politics, culture and learning – a "talking gallery" to cite the famous banker Max M. Warburg's words at the association's founding assembly in 1922.
Since 1970 the Übersee Club has been located in the Amsinck House on the city's beautiful Neuer Jungfernstieg boulevard.
N E W S
Unfortunately, the Übersee-Club clubhouse will only be available for limited use from the beginning of 2026 until further notice.
Background: The renovation announced by our landlord for January has been delayed by at least six months. At the same time, our current catering partner, the Hotel Atlantic, does not wish to extend its presence beyond the end of 2025. At short notice, it has not been possible to find a caterer who is able to take over the Atlantic's services on an interim basis. We have commissioned a professional catering company to provide catering services for club events in a similar form to before.
The clubhouse will therefore only be open for club evenings in 2026. These will take place at the Amsinck House until at least summer 2026.
Unfortunately, this means that we are also unable to welcome guests from our partner clubs to our club. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
We regret this unfortunate state of limbo, which is unpleasant for members and guests. However, as a tenant, the Übersee-Club has very limited influence on the owner's plans.

The renovation phase: this is the plan
As soon as our landlord actually begins renovating the clubhouse, the Übersee-Club will temporarily move out of the Amsinck House.
We will then hold our club evenings at various locations in the city centre of Hamburg for about two years.
Once the renovation is complete, the club intends to move back into the modernised Amsinck House. We also plan to start working with a new catering partner.

Lecture Programme
In 2022, the Übersee-Club will be 100 years old. We have compiled all the information surrounding this special anniversary, including a look back at the founding, special speakers in past decades, and an outlook on the anniversary year, on a dedicated website:
Every year on or around May 7 the club celebrates its Übersee Day, sustaining a tradition that dates back
to 1950.
The day commemorates Emperor Barbarossa's 1189 conferment of the City of Hamburg's right to operate as a port.
The talks and lectures programme represents the centrepiece of the Übersee Club activities. As a meeting place for influential thinkers, it provides a forum where members can share views and form their own opinions by engaging in dialogue. Several times a year the club invites leading figures from the worlds of commerce, politics, the arts and learning to give talks. The current programme can be found on our German website.

Partner CLUBS
After many decades, our catering partner, the Hotel Atlantic, does not wish to continue its presence in the clubhouse after the end of 2025. We are in talks with caterers about a successor once the clubhouse has been renovated.
Until then, we ask for your understanding regarding limited catering services.
19 Neuer Jungfernstieg – commissioned by Gottfried Jenisch in 1831 and known today as the Amsinck House, the organisation's base presents a fascinating fusion of history and modernity.
The Übersee Club maintains partnerships with numerous clubs in Germany and around the world.
