Hohenfelde: Hohenfelder Bucht

The subarea known as Hohenfelder Bucht gives this part of Hohenfelde a more precise local identity. It is best understood through the immediate combination of housing, everyday routes, nearby open space and the way local streets connect with the rest of the district. Treating Hohenfelder Bucht separately helps expose small-scale differences in urban form and daily life that are easily lost when Hohenfelde is described only as one large area. Its most attractive streets contain late nineteenth-century townhouses, row villas and mature front gardens, particularly around Uhlandstraße and Lessingstraße, while post-war infill reflects the destruction suffered by the eastern inner city. The Hohenfelder Bucht and waterside paths provide direct access to the Alster landscape, and the recently renewed public spaces around the bay make the water more visible and usable. U-Bahn stations at Lübecker Straße and Uhlandstraße place the city centre only minutes away.
