Ballindamm
The Balli dam is a street in the center of Hamburg . Located directly on the Inner Alster, the Ballindamm connects the Jungfernstieg with the Glockengießerwall ( Ring 1 ) and the Ferdinandstor.
It was created after the great fire of 1842 when rubble was heaped up and was initially called Alsterdamm . In 1947 it was renamed Ballindamm in memory of the German shipowner Albert Ballin . The shipping company Hapag (today: Hapag-Lloyd ), which he manages, has had its headquarters on this street since 1903.
Various banks - mainly private banks - are also based on Ballindamm. The Europa Passage , a shopping center completed in 2006, has its west entrance on the street. Entrances to the Jungfernstieg underground station ensure that the street is easily accessible.
Ballindamm will be rebuilt by autumn 2020 to make room for the growing bicycle traffic . The renovation is funded by the federal government with € 5.7 million.
