Bunker Humboldtstrasse 99

Here is the Ilse Löwenstein School, which was formerly called the Humboldtstraße district school. At the entrance to the school yard, a plaque from the history workshop in Barmbek, on which students from the school worked, reminds of the artist Richard Haizmann as well as the heavy development and the cramped housing conditions on Humboldtstrasse before the bombing in World War II. In the street section at Humboldtstrasse 91 there is a bunker from the Second World War. Two penthouse apartments were built on its roof. They were accessible via an external staircase. In mid-December 2017 the wooden penthouse burned down and had to be torn down. Wilhelminian-style houses are also in this section.
