history

View from Heine Park to the port of Hamburg

The park, a formerly extensive garden, was laid out according to English models on behalf of John Blacker . In the early 1790s he had a two-story house built. In 1808, Salomon Heine from Hamburg acquired the property from Blacker's heirs. In the following years, Heine lived in the house in the summers. He had a gardener's house built in 1832, which was entered in the list of monuments in 1962 . In 1903 the property passed to the councilor and mill industrialist Georg Plange . In 1913 he arranged for the "Plange'schen Villa" (Elbchaussee 43) to be built for his son Carl, who died in 1914 in the First World War . In the years 2007 to 2010 the villa was extensively renovated. Today it is used as a club house by the Business Club Hamburg .

The house that Blacker had built was demolished by an heiress of Salomon Heine around 1880. In 1890/91 more than 2000 m² of land were expropriated from the heiress for the widening of today's Elbchaussee. The Hamburg tax authorities bought the entire country estate in 1939 with the aim of using the area for the expansion of the seafaring school. This changed the park significantly. The central country house was demolished and the nautical school expanded.

The "Heine-Park" ensemble was included in the city's list of monuments in March 2007 because of its importance as a " document of the history of country house culture on the Elbchaussee and as a testimony to the building and living culture of the early 19th and 20th centuries and for reasons of local history " Hamburg registered. The ensemble (Elbchaussee 31a - 43) consists of the residential building, the villa built in 1913 and the Heineschen Gärtnerhaus .

The Heine-Park-Villa and park are being renovated with the participation of an investor who is building the area of ​​the former nautical school. The plans for the renovation are based on the original plans by the garden architect Joseph Ramée from the beginning of the 19th century.
