Gut Karlshöhe was built as a farm in 1850, was a Hamburg state property and is now Hamburg's environmental center and seat of the Hamburg Climate Protection Foundation .
history
The area of the current estate was formerly called Bramfelder Höhe. From around 1850, Carsten Reimers made the area arable and applied for it to be renamed Carlshöhe . Later Johann Heinrich Schröder, who had already acquired Gut Berne in 1844, bought Gut Carlshöhe and used it as a poultry farm. After his death, Carlshöhe, together with the parts of the Berne estate, came into the possession of a property consortium. In 1919 Hamburg acquired the Carlshöhe estate and expanded it into a state estate and a training institute for poultry farming with a so-called "Wettlegehof". The 750 hectare estate served as a place of work for the Farmsen workshop and poor house. The name Carlshöhe was changed to Karlshöhe in 1931. In the 1960s, areas previously belonging to the estate were built on with houses. In the 1970s, due to a lack of profitability, agricultural use ended and the estate fell into disrepair.
In 1986 the environmental center Karlshöhe was founded and the Senate and the citizens decided to renovate the manor house. The area was enlarged by about 6 hectares and in 1989 the Karlshöhe Environmental Center was opened. Gut Karlshöhe was now operated as an environmental education institution under different names and sponsors. From 2001 to 2007, the BUND -Landesverband Hamburg held the sponsorship. Since 2007 the estate has been in the hands of the City of Hamburg again and in 2008 the City of Hamburg founded the Climate Protection Foundation Hamburg, which has since taken over the sponsorship. On August 19, 2011, the “Environmental Center Karlshöhe” was renamed “Gut Karlshöhe”.
present
Today the estate covers an area of around 9 hectares. The site is accessible via a circular path. You can see examples of different environmental technologies:
- a 160 m² photovoltaic system made of 128 polycrystalline modules with a maximum output of 21.8 kWp on the barn.
- a glass energy house, which shows a fuel cell , a combined heat and power unit , a pellet boiler and a solar thermal system
- a partially sunk in the ground, 4000 m³ water holding multifunctional heat storage
- a system for rainwater harvesting and water treatment by means of a sewage treatment plant.
There are also various ecosystems on the site, such as a sheep pasture, a small forest, a cottage garden and an orchard. The administration of the Hamburg Climate Protection Foundation and a seminar room are located in the former manor house.
The former stable building now houses the two-storey adventure exhibition “Hamburg Season”. There is a bistro and another seminar room on the ground floor. In addition to the exhibition, there is also the children's researcher workshop on the upper floor. The former barn is used as a place for readings, concerts and other events.

Orchard meadow
The orchard was created around 1920 and was supposed to be used to supply the Farmsen work and poor house. Today it covers an almost rectangular area with an area of about 100 by 120 meters and offers space for about 120 apple, pear, cherry and plum trees. Some of the varieties are very old or not very common, such as the Goldparmäne , the Altländer pancake apple or the Red Astrakhan . The oldest trees of the Köstliche variety from Charneux originate from the first planting around 1920. According to an investigation by the BUND in 2011, 61 xylobionte beetle species live on the site , 18 of which are on the Red List. There are beehives for honey bees , hornets and a variety of nesting aids for wild bees right next to the orchard .
