Guided Story

You're standing on a piece of Hamburg's history. This 1.5-hectare park was once the estate of merchant Dethard Kalkmann, who built a grand villa here in the 19th century. Imagine the villa as the centerpiece of the estate, before the city acquired the land in 1902. Hamburg then transformed it into a public park to provide the booming Eilbek community with a green haven. The villa that once stood here was a popular excursion spot until 1911. Now you can enjoy the serenity and feel connected to the past as you stroll along the well-kept paths.
