Hochkamp is an upper middle-class in the 1890s founded years residential area in the Hamburg Elbe suburbs and belongs to the district Altona . The still uniform, spacious development was ensured by the inclusion and strict handling of the so-called "Hochkamp clause" in the land register and land purchase agreements.
geography
Hochkamp extends over an area of approx. 1 km². To the south of the S1 S-Bahn line , Hochkamp is assigned to the Nienstedten district , and to the north of it to the Osdorf district .
Development
Hochkamp consists of approx. 360 plots that are or may only be built on with villa-style single-family houses . The plot size is at least 1,500 m².
history
Hochkamp is a relatively young district without a village history, town center or church register . The foundation goes back to the merchant Ferdinand Ancker from Tönning, to whom the Ferdinand-Ancker-Strasse commemorates. With the financial support of the Hamburg businessman Friedrich Leopold Loesener , son-in-law of the shipowner RM Sloman jr. , at the end of the 1890s he bought around 100 hectares of land previously used for agriculture in Nienstedten (approx. 31 hectares), Osdorf (approx. 42 hectares) and Dockenhuden (approx. 26 hectares). This contiguous area was divided into villa plots, a road network was laid out at its own expense and a brick street was built that led to the Elbe.
The developed building plots were then sold to interested builders. For example, on January 20, 1898, a plot of land with a size of 4,000 m² was bought for 12,450 marks , i.e. H. 3 Mark / m² sold. By March 1898 there were already 23 construction sites.
The name of the resulting villa colony was initially controversial. In conversation was the name "Hohenfelde" based on the field names "Hochfeld" and "Hogenfelde", which are documented on the Osdorfer and Dockenhudener Feldmark. The naming became necessary due to the planned opening of the railway station on the Altona – Blankenese route on March 2, 1898 . The railway station, including the necessary bridges and station buildings, was not financed by the railway administration, but by the investor. The name "Hohenfelde" was discarded to avoid confusion with the Hamburg-Hohenfelde district . It was finally agreed on the fantasy name "Hochkamp" on the condition that the planned stop would also be given this name.
After the financier of the project, Friedrich Leopold Loesener, died in 1903, the heirs brought the land that had not yet been sold into the newly founded Terraingesellschaft Hochkamp mbH. Until it was liquidated in the early thirties, it continued to sell Hochkamper properties.
Building law in Hochkamp
Hochkamp has retained its urban image, characterized by spacious villas with park-like properties, to this day.
The reason for this is the later so-called "Hochkamp Clause", which almost all property purchase agreements contained the same wording. This defines the size of the property and other details such as the type of development and boundary distances. According to this, the buyer and his legal successors undertook to build only one single-family house in the villa style on the purchase property , observing the specified distances, in which no commercial operation may be carried out. These limits are as easement in the land registers entered the purchase plots. The dominant property was originally the property of the administration building of the terracing company. Since the spatial relationship to the controlled properties appeared questionable, several properties were declared ruling properties in 1927.
The Hochkamp eV association, founded in 1918, ensures compliance with the Hochkamp clause. The owners of the ruling land have assigned the rights from the easements to them. This forms its basis of legitimation. Compared to the clauses and land register entries in other settlements and districts (such as on the Elbchaussee and in the Alstertal ), the design regulations in Hochkamp are strictly applied. For example, the Hochkamp association had a villa demolished in 1981, despite political protests, because it did not meet the conditions of the Hochkamp clause.
