HAMBURG - HARVESTEHUDE

Who hasn't lived here, in Harvestehude, on the Outer Alster. The list of residents reads like a directory of the city's celebrities, who are still reflected in the names of Hamburg's streets and buildings today: The Lutteroths and the Amsincks, the Slomans, Blohms, Laeisz' and Hudwalckers - Harvestehude and the banks of the Alster in particular have been the city's premier address for a century and a half, a place of residence for important merchant families and a reflection of economic history. History also shows that the elegance of the district has always been the result of close cooperation between private investors and the city - right up to the Sophienterrassen.
