At the end of the street at Finkenau 35 you will find the buildings of the former women's clinic in Finkenau. The main building was built between 1911 and 1914 as the "Institute for Obstetrics" based on plans by Fritz Schumacher . The institute was a clinic and educational establishment for nurses and midwifery students. In 1926/27 the system was given a stylistically adapted extension, including an auditorium. With the expansion of the center for pregnancy, childbirth and gynecology at the General Hospital Barmbek, the gynecological clinic was relocated to the Asklepios Clinic Barmbek and the Finkenau building was closed in 2000. A fountain figure of mother and child at the entrance to Finkenau reminds of its use as a women's clinic. Other sculptures Mother with two children and the woman sculpture Ceres by Ursula Querner are located in the inner courtyard of the building.
