In the Harburger Schloßstraße , today in the Hamburg district of Harburg , there are numerous cultural artefacts of the formerly independent city of Harburg-Wilhelmsburg . The street has a length of about 350 m and runs in an approximately north-northeast direction from Karnapp to Kanalplatz. For many centuries, the road was one of the most important traffic arteries between Hamburg, the ford through the Elbe into the southern area.

Archaeological excavations

The Archaeological Museum Hamburg has been carrying out excavations on several properties since 2002 , in the run-up to a new residential area planned for 2014. This excavation is the largest city center excavation in Hamburg's urban area and is also one of the largest and most productive city center excavations in northern Germany. Numerous layers of settlement from the 13th century to the present day have been documented up to a depth of 4.5 m. Following the excavations, the Harburg Archaeological Window was opened on the ground floor at number 39 in 2017 as a branch of the Hamburg Archaeological Museum. Information on the history of Harburg's oldest street and the excavation results are presented in three windows at multimedia stations. An open WiFi access point gives visitors the opportunity to share their feedback on the presentations via social networks .

Protected architectural monuments

Harburg's list of historical monuments lists several objects in Harburger Schloßstraße, including houses No. 5 (formerly 27, from around 1750, demolition and reconstruction in 1975), No. 7 (fr.28, former inn "Goldener Engel" built in 1742/43) ), No. 9 (Fr.29), No. 13 (Fr.31, approx. 1770), No. 43 (around 1850) and No. 45.

Bornemann house

Bornemannsche Haus was built in the 17th century at the latest. According to the facade inscription, it was renovated in 1781. Georg Ludwig Bornemann bought the house in 1813. His textile dyeing and blueprinting works had their manufacturing, sales, office and storage rooms here until the Second World War . The old blueprint models are now in the holdings of the Hamburg Archaeological Museum .

Golden Angel inn

The house was built after 1740 (the indication 1613 on the building probably refers to the previous building).
