took up business as a subsidiary manufacturing company On the political side of things, the process was finally completed as the Greater Hamburg Act came into force on 1 April 1937 after several years of discussion.

The shared Fischmarkt Hamburg-Altona alongside the big Weser markets became the most important fishing harbor in Germany.

The FMH succeeded in expanding the Fischmarkt Altona into the only specialized location for premium seafood products in Germany.

In the 1980s, the FMH transitioned into a modern service industry In order to prepare the challenges of an intensified intra-European competition and possible market slumps due to a globalized economy, the company repositioned itself.

On about 62.800 square meters, FMH develops areas designed for offices and commerce that are for the greater part tailored specifically to the needs of local fishing and harbor businesses.

With the city council supporting this development, the fish market has for quite a while now become a magnet for tourists and excursionists from Hamburg alike.

The basic idea for future development is opening the area to a broader public and the advancement of the specific milieu of industrial fishing into an architectural attraction.
