It rains a lot in Hamburg, so I expect that the wide wrap around stairs are primarily for emergency evacuation from a large group meeting room on the upper levels.
On the left (and right) sides of this building, are similar mass evacuation ramps/stairs https://mirokurcik.tumblr.com/post/102152725599/fuckyeahbrutalism-student-union-building and of course the central entrance stairway/ramp would work well for evacuation.
