Summary

[edit]
Description

Detail Scheepvaarthuis, Prins Hendrikkade, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. One of six sculptures by Hildo Krop representing the Amsterdam shipping companies that occupied the building. Here: the Nieuwe Rijnvaart Maatschappij (NRM), a subsidiary of KNSM. The head represents the river Rhine. Left and right the contributaries Neckar and Main. Interwoven with the letters of these names is the hair of the Loreley, which is also the water of the Rhine poured from vessels.
The Scheepvaarthuis ("Shipping House") was the headquarters of six leading Amsterdam shipping companies. It is regarded as the first true example of the Amsterdam School style of architecture. Architects: Johan Godart, Adolf Daniel Nicholas van Gendt, Johan van der Mey, Michel de Klerk and Piet Kramer, 1912-16 and 1926-28.

It now houses the Grand Hotel Amrâth Amsterdam.
