Paul-Abraham-Park
Paul-Abraham-Park lies in Hamburg’s Grindelberg area, linking a public green space with the city’s cultural history. The park honours Hungarian composer Paul Abraham and his life in Hamburg.
The tribute recalls Abraham’s operettas, which became popular in Germany during the early 1930s. In 1933, Nazi persecution forced him to leave Germany because of his Jewish heritage. His exile led through Vienna, Budapest, Paris and Cuba before he settled in New York. There, a lengthy stay in a psychiatric clinic marked a difficult period despite his success.
The park also remembers Abraham’s return to Germany during the mid-1950s and his death in Hamburg in 1960. Nearby, a roundabout honours Jewish poet Arie Goral, who likewise fled Nazi persecution and later returned to Hamburg. Together, these places keep stories of persecution, artistic work and survival visible in the city.
