Punto de encuentro: Ayuntamiento de Altona

Desde el Ayuntamiento de Altona paseamos por los jardines paisajísticos en la ladera del Elba, que los comerciantes de Hamburgo han creado desde la época de la Ilustración. Vistas de ensueño y detalles ocultos, jardines de café y conversaciones filosóficas son parte de su historia, que nos acompaña en nuestro camino a través del paisaje de parques hasta el puerto del museo Övelgönne.

The tour leads through the literary history of Ottensen from the Baroque period to the present day. Besides famous poets like Klopstock and Heinrich Heine, we will also explore forgotten names – such as Hans Friedrich Blunck, the first president of the Reichsschrifttumskammer (Reich Chamber of Literature). In this way, we want to get to know the district as a literary place and ask: What image of Ottensen is conveyed to us through literature? The tour ends at Fischers Park.

The tour leads to historical traces of the former city center, shows the reconstruction after the Second World War as a "car-friendly" thoroughfare, and explores recent redesigns.
