The Hulbe-Haus is an office and commercial building in Hamburg, Mönckebergstraße 21, which is a listed building. It was built in 1910-1911 to the design of the Hamburg architect Henry Grell (1870-1937) and is named after its builder, the bookbinder and leather artisan Georg Hulbe.
Hulbe had the building built in Mönckebergstraße as the site of his handicraft shop, which was also known as Hulbe Kunstgewerbehaus, directly next to St.-Petri- Church. In the development of the Mönckebergstraße he wanted to set an architectural accent between the office buildings with this building. The building takes up the architectural forms of the Dutch Renaissance and thus also the tradition of the Nordic sea-towns.
