Ohlsdorf

The Ohlsdorf quarter extends over 7.2 square kilometers with a population density of 2,457 inhabitants per square kilometer, housing 17,693 residents.

First documented in 1303, Ohlsdorf transformed significantly when Hamburg purchased land in 1874 to establish a new municipal cemetery due to overcrowded church graveyards.

The Garden of Women, established in 2001, contains monuments dedicated to influential women who shaped Hamburg's history, featuring a water tower for exhibitions.

The Ohlsdorf station serves as the district center with railway connections to Hamburg's public transport network, offering access to both U-Bahn and S-Bahn lines.

The Frank Settlement represents protected architecture from the 1930s, demonstrating the garden city concept developed by brothers Hermann and Paul Frank.
