Fuhlsbüttel

Fuhlsbüttel is a quarter in northern Hamburg that combines residential neighborhoods with commercial areas and Hamburg International Airport. The district blends everyday streets with green spaces, creating a mix of homes, shops, and transportation hubs.

A former village became part of Hamburg in 1871 and later played a role in aviation history with an airship base starting in 1912. This connection to early flight shaped the place and eventually led to the construction of the modern airport.

The St. Marien Lutheran Church stands among parks and recreational facilities, reflecting the quarter's mix of traditional architecture and modern community spaces.

The quarter is easily reached by U1 and S1 rail lines, which connect to other parts of Hamburg. Many bus routes supplement the network and offer flexible options for getting around.

A prison from 1933 sits here and now houses a memorial documenting its dark past during World War II. Visitors can explore this overlooked place and learn about this period of history.
