The Foorthkamp 29, 31, 31 A housing estate, comprising 22 publicly subsidised three- to four-room flats (built in 1982), is situated in the Langenhorn district. With a population of 45,000 spread over 13.8 square kilometres, this district in the Hamburg Nord borough is one of the less densely populated districts of the Hanseatic city. The neighbourhood’s most famous resident was the former Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, who lived here with his wife Loki at Neubergerweg 80/82. This is now the home of the Helmut and Loki Schmidt Foundation, which aims to preserve the memory of the Hanseatic statesman’s work. A visit to the Fritz-Schumacher Estate is also well worth it. The legendary Chief Planning Officer created a garden city here based on the idea that residents could be self-sufficient by growing their own fruit and vegetables. The estate has been a listed building since 2013. When it comes to nature, Langenhorn also has plenty to offer alongside its many flower gardens. The Raakmoor nature reserve can be explored via wooden walkways. The Kiwittsmoor natural swimming area, which underwent extensive renovation in 2015, is also a popular destination for residents of neighbouring districts. With the underground stations Langenhorn-Markt, Langenhorn-Nord, Kiwittsmoor and Ochsenzoll, as well as several bus routes, the district is ideally connected to the public transport network.
