Neubertstraße 59-63

The residential complex at Neubertstraße 59–63, comprising 41 two- to four-room flats (built in 1956), is situated in the Hohenfelde district. With around 10,000 residents spread over approximately 1.1 square kilometres, the district is one of the most densely populated areas of the Hanseatic city. Around 70 per cent of the housing stock was destroyed during the Second World War. With its magnificent villas and social housing, Hohenfelde presents itself as a district of contrasts. The most famous building is the Alsterschwimmhalle, built in 1968, which is Hamburg’s only indoor swimming pool with a 50-metre lane. Due to its striking shell-like structure, the pool is also known as the ‘Swimming Opera’. The pool is currently undergoing extensive refurbishment and renovation; it is due to reopen in 2024 with a new sauna area. Schwanenwik, the Mundsburger Canal and Kuhmühlenteich attract many walkers from other parts of the city to Hohenfelde. With the Landwehr S-Bahn station, the Lübecker Straße, Uhlandstraße and Wartenau underground stations, and several bus routes, the neighbourhood is perfectly connected to the public transport network.
