Lohbrügge

Lohbrügge is a residential quarter within the Bergedorf district featuring housing, green spaces, and school buildings spread across the area. The zone brings together homes, parks, and educational facilities in one connected neighborhood.

The quarter emerged from Hamburg's reorganization in the early 20th century when the city expanded its administrative boundaries to include surrounding areas. This restructuring shaped the neighborhood's current identity and role within the city.

Schools define how people live and gather here, with several elementary and secondary schools plus a campus of Hamburg University of Applied Sciences dotting the area. These institutions serve as meeting points where residents and families encounter one another daily.

The quarter benefits from fast train service through Bergedorf station, reaching Hamburg's city center within twenty minutes. Walking is practical here as schools and parks are distributed throughout the neighborhood without requiring long distances to cover.

The neighborhood houses a specialized hospital running one of northern Germany's few intensive care units for severe burn patients. This facility draws people from across a wide region, making it a significant medical center beyond its residential role.
