Course and development

The street begins in the north as a continuation of the Wartenau street ( Lage ). In the approximately 410 meter long section to the south side of the bridge of the Hamburg-Altona connection line and the Lübeck – Hamburg line , the buildings on the east side (house numbers 1–45) belong to Eilbek in the Wandsbek district , the entire street area and the west side (house numbers 2– 36a) to Hohenfelde in the Hamburg-Nord district . The only side streets are Angerstraße from the west and Hasselbrookstraße from the east. From the railway bridge, the street runs 170 meters in the Hamburg-Mitte district before it turns into Burgstrasse ( location ). The district boundary between Borgfelde on the west side (house number 50) and Hamm on the east side (house numbers 63-73) is in the middle of the street. In this street section, too, only one street on each side of the street leads into the Landwehr, Hinrichsenstraße from the west and Marienthaler Straße from the east.

The road begins at a height of m above sea level. NN and ends at 7.9  m above sea level. NN . At the railway bridge it sinks to 4.2  m above sea level. NN , so that there can be flooding in heavy rain.

The residential and commercial building at number 35 on the Landwehr is protected as a cultural monument. The Lola-Rogge School, a vocational school for dance, is also located in the street . The square opposite the entrance to the S-Bahn station was named Ramazan-Avci- Platz in December 2012 to commemorate the Turkish living in Hamburg, who was killed there in 1985 by right-wing extremist skinheads .

The name comes from the historical Landwehr from the 14th century, an outer line of defense consisting primarily of earth walls, ditches and " knicks " in the run-up to the actual city ​​fortifications . It ran from the "Hammer Baum" in the south via the "Lübschen Baum" to the Kuhmühlenteich in the north (corresponding to today's Burgstrasse-Landwehr-Wartenau road ) and served to protect the so-called "Bürgerweide" between the villages of Eilbek and, which were already part of Hamburg at that time Hamm.

After the end of the French era in Hamburg , the Landwehr was abandoned as a defensive structure and, towards the end of the 19th century, multi-storey residential buildings were built in the Wilhelminian style , most of which were destroyed by bombs in World War II . Parts of the former ramparts remained visible and were only leveled after the war. A last remnant of the wall has only survived south of Carl-Petersen-Strasse as a footpath on the Hohe Landwehr .

Until May 22, 1977 the Landwehr was also used by the Hamburg tram (most recently by line 14). Today, Metrobus line 25 between Altona and Hammerbrook and night bus line 606 between Rathausmarkt and Langenhorn operate Monday to Friday.

Landwehr station

Landwehr station around 1907

The Hamburg Landwehr station (abbreviation: ALAN) is a double-track stop of the Hamburg S-Bahn with a central platform , which is located directly on the bridge over Landwehr Street ( location ). There are entrances from both sides of the street. It was opened on December 5, 1906 in the course of the construction of the suburban railway to Hasselbrook and Ohlsdorf , initially in steam operation, and from October 1, 1907 electrically. As one of the few buildings in the area, the old train station survived the Second World War undamaged. In the following years, however, it was severely neglected, the entrance building (see picture) torn down in the 1970s and replaced with an easy access. Since July 2011, an elevator on the east side of the Landwehr has provided barrier-free access. The S-Bahn station is served by the main line S1 and the amplifier line S11.

The two tracks of the Lübeck – Hamburg railway line run on its south side .
