The Berner Gutspark is a 7.2 hectare public park in the Hamburg district of Farmsen-Berne . It goes back to the former Gut Berne, which belonged to the St. Georg Hospital until 1806 and has been privately owned since then. The manor house, which was expanded by the then owner in the 1890s and has belonged to a housing cooperative since 2001, is also located on the site . The park and manor house are each entered in the Hamburg list of monuments.

location

The park is located on the Deepenhorngraben , a tributary of the Berner Au , and is bordered by the streets Berner Allee, Berner Gutsweg and Zum Gutspark. It is connected to local public transport through the nearby Berne underground station and several bus routes.

history

Gut Berne, first mentioned in a document in 1296, has belonged to the property of the St. Georg Hospital since 1375 and passed into the sovereignty of the Hamburg Council during the Reformation in the 16th century . He used the manor house as a summer residence and guest house from around 1600. In 1806 the estate was privatized and the then 186  hectare site came into the possession of the banker Johann Heinrich Schröder in 1844 . Between 1890 and 1893, his son Charles von Schröder had the manor house, which has since been referred to as the “Bern Castle”, expanded in a representative style in the classical style.

After the First World War, the garden city of Berne was built on the northern part of the Gutsland between 1919 and 1930 . After the bankruptcy of the last owner in 1939, the remaining property including the manor house came into the possession of the Hamburger Sparcasse from 1827 and later fell to the city of Hamburg. This used the manor at times as an SS engine school, auxiliary hospital, tuberculosis sanatorium or as a dormitory for various groups of needy people. From 1969 to 1999 it housed a day-care center before, after three years of vacancy, in 2001 it was sold to the “Gartenstadt Hamburg eG” housing association . In addition to their office, there is also a family counseling center for the workers' welfare in the house , and some particularly representative rooms are rented out for events.

Park

On the west side of the manor house is the driveway lined with linden trees and built around a pond. The east side offered a view of a classic axis of a landscape garden with a meadow area and individual trees and groups of trees, which was bordered by an oak-beech mixed forest. Part of it was sold in the 1970s to build a retirement home there. The Deepenhorngraben , which has remained above ground and close to nature, runs through the southern part of the park . A second park axis extends south of the manor house and ends in a pond area that was probably used for fish farming in the past.

In the Bernese Gutspark there is an old stock of linden, oak, beech and a few pines, as well as rhododendron bushes to loosen up. A remarkable tree is a multi-stemmed sweet chestnut at the beginning of the garden axis.
