Hausbruch

Hausbruch is a district of Hamburg located at the edge of the Harburger Berge with varied housing types. The northern part features single-family homes, while the southern section, particularly Neuwiedenthal, is marked by multi-story residential buildings.

The district grew from a sheep farm established in 1545. Development accelerated when the Lower Elbe railway was built in 1881, connecting the area more closely to the rest of Hamburg.

Neuwiedenthal is a residential area where people from many different places live and maintain their own traditions. You notice this diversity in the shops, restaurants, and gathering spaces, where different languages and customs are part of daily life.

The area is best explored on foot or by public transport, especially the S-Bahn which serves Neuwiedenthal well. The Rehrstieg Galleria shopping center offers shops and is located near the S-Bahn station.

The Robertshall coal mine operated here from 1919 to 1922, making it Hamburg's only coal mining site ever. Remnants of this unusual chapter still stand as traces of the area's industrial past.
