Lohsepark, Memorial park in HafenCity, Hamburg, Germany
Lohsepark is a memorial park in Hamburg's HafenCity that spans 4.4 hectares between Baakenhafen harbor and Ericusgraben canal. The grounds feature approximately 500 trees from 20 different species including lime, oak, cherry, and apple, along with various open spaces and play areas.
The park occupies the site of the former Hanover Railway Station, from which over 8,000 Jewish people and Sinti and Roma were deported between 1940 and 1945. This darkest chapter in the city's history is documented through preserved railway structures on the grounds.
The park holds spaces dedicated to remembrance, helping visitors understand what happened here. Preserved railway structures and marked pathways create places for reflection among the greenery.
The area is easily accessible via the HafenCity University U4 subway station and multiple bus lines. Visitors will find benches, play areas, and green spaces throughout for resting and walking.
A diagonal pathway cuts across the grounds following the former railway tracks, allowing visitors to retrace the original route of the deportation transports. This pathway connects the preserved remains of Platform 2 with the site of the former station forecourt.
