Groß Flottbek

Groß Flottbek extends over 2.4 square kilometers with 11,000 residents, featuring brick houses and villas surrounded by English-style gardens and mature trees.

The area's first documented mention dates to 1305, and it remained under Danish control from 1640 until 1866 before joining Hamburg through the Greater Hamburg Act.

The neighborhood maintains traditional Hanseatic values, reflected in the architecture of its farmhouses, the 1912 Flottbek church, and the historic Deutsche Werft settlement.

The Waitzstraße shopping street spans 360 meters, offering specialized stores and cafes, while the district connects to Hamburg's center through efficient public transportation.

Peter Behrens designed the 1921 brick houses with pitched roofs and divided windows, creating an exemplary residential development for Deutsche Werft employees.
