Kellinghusenpark
Kellinghusenpark covers two and a half hectares in Hamburg’s Eppendorf district, between a railway embankment and residential buildings. Trees, a pond, and quiet paths create a green setting near Kellinghusenstraße underground station. A playground stands beside the entrance, while a small dog run serves Eppendorf’s visitors.
Maps show a park on this site as early as 1774, long before Hamburg acquired the property in 1925. Heinrich Kellinghusen bought the grounds in 1842 from merchant Johann Paul Friedrich Dankert. Otto Linne and Fritz Schumacher protected the mature trees from housing plans, and architects Hans and Oskar Gerson and Robert Friedmann shaped the park established in 1929.
A three-hundred-year-old beech, an Indian tulip tree, and a swamp cypress preserve traces of that earlier landscape. The pond at Loehrsweg survives as a remnant of a much larger fish pond. A thatched former cow barn, rebuilt after fires in 1937, 1987, and 2014, has supported youth work since 1996.
