Stadtteilrundgang durch Pöseldorf und Harvestehude

• City Walks

The tour starts at the underground station Hallerstraße with an all-round view, because here the district boundary between Harvestehude and the district of Rotherbaum, to which a larger part of Pöseldorf belongs, can be felt particularly well. Both parts of the city are west of the Outer Alster and have a lot of well-known facilities and particularly interesting buildings.

Right at the beginning of our tour of the district, this includes the tennis and media center on Rothenbaum, the radio station of the Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), but also the newly developed, innovative residential quarters on the former HSV football pitch and the Elbe terraces.

City tour in Pöseldorf and Harvestehude:

the fine address in Hamburg

Then it goes towards Pöseldorf. Nowhere else in Hamburg is there a comparable mix of such spacious, elegant villas, but also small, pretty paths and dreamy courtyards. The district is also livened up by numerous trendy restaurants, elegant as well as cozy cafés and a variety of still owner-managed shops.

Pöseldorf has history. In its current form, it was created after 1860, when many wealthy Hamburgers settled on a former garden site directly on the Alster. The Pöseldorfer music history is of course even more famous: here was the "Uncle Pö", in which Udo Lindenberg, Marius Müller-Westernhagen and many, many other show greats "pissed off" in the 1970s. They started their careers here with hand-made music. Pöseldorf also became famous for world-famous fashion designers such as Wolfgang Joop, Jill Sander and Karl Lagerfeld, who also started their international careers in Pöseldorf. A flair of which you can still feel a lot today.

Harvestehude & Pöseldorf You will then also see the Ethnographic Museum with the neighboring tea house, the surrounding magnificent buildings from the 19th century, which today often house consulates, the famous Curiohaus and finally the "Alte Rabenstraße" jetty on the banks of the Alster. The magnificent building is located nearby, and until recently the US Consulate General was located there. The former Gruner & Jahr publishing building, which is popularly known as "monkey rock", contrasts with this. Again and again we move on this district tour in a "Who is Who" distinguished merchants and famous builders who found their properties here.

The music academy, a star chef and the "Theater im Zimmer" can then be admired on the way back in a northerly direction. Also the green Alster foothills and the wonderfully beautiful Alster lake. Harvestehude goes back to a monastery that was built here at the end of the 13th century. After the gate was lifted in 1860, a number of villas and elegant apartment buildings were built here. Today, the district is one of the most elegant and expensive neighborhoods in Hamburg.

You can also see this on the Sophienterrasse, at St. Nikolai and then at the Klosterstern. Its parceling, but also the memory of the poet Friedrich von Hagedorn, let this tour on the Klosterstern or the Krugkoppel bridge - again on the Alster - end pleasantly.

We are planning a city tour in a relaxed form, in which the participants can enjoy with their senses what there is to admire. We also want to remind you of some builders, architects, city planners and merchants who have left special traces in these neighborhoods. These include Fritz Schumacher, Eduard Brinkama, Johann Heinrich Böckmann, John Fontenay, Arthur Lutteroth and Henry Sloman. Up to Michael Kühne, who will open one of the most posh hotels in Europe this year at Fontenay.
