Vibrant Ottensen

Hamburg´s colourful side

A very special district, rich in history and stories, and brimful of contrasts - from working class industrial area to trendy neighbourhood.
This is where artists, craftsmen, managers and creative culture from more than 100 different nations all come together, and yet it feels just like a village - a very special experience right at the heart of the exciting city of Hamburg!
Join us on a cultural-historical tour of this legendary quarter. In the industrial age, Ottensen was built to provide housing for the workers. Its centre lies along Bahrenfelder Straße and Ottenser Hauptstraße with their multitude of cafés, pubs and small shops. Industrial lofts in the rear courtyards continue to shape the face of the district. Cultural diversity thrives here more than anywhere else in the city. We´ll be taking a closer look at the mixture of residential buildings, trade, industry, commerce, culture and leisure that makes this area so special.

On this tour you´ll experience the colourful mixture of people and lifestyles that shape this popular district.
