Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Formerly a working class neighbourhood, Ottensen has become one of Hamburg’s most popular quarters. The many bars, cafés and restaurants west of Altona station are usually crowded with people. Shoppers can still find cosy little independent shops and boutiques rather than chain-stores. Fans of architecture will enjoy the many historic buildings in Ottensen’s grid of narrow alleys.The quarter is also among the most popular residential areas in the city. In Ottensen’s south, towards the Elbe river, impressive townhouses are home to the rich and famous. Culturally Ottensen has plenty to offer as well. With a total of five theatres, including the Altonaer Theater, there is always an interesting play to attend. Music venues like the Fabrik host international bands and artists almost every night of the week. The Zeise cinema, opposite our house, located inside an old ship propeller factory, is among the city’s most beautiful movie theatres.
