Mittelweg (Hamburg)
The middle ground is a street in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg , which the district Eimsbüttel belongs. The Mittelweg connects two parts of the city : Harvestehude and Rotherbaum .
The street got its name in 1858. It represents a simplification of the names given above. These were: Mittelster Fahrweg to Harvestehude , Mittelster Harvestehuder Weg or Mittelweg der Chaussee to Harvestehude . Another explanation for the name is that it was derived from the Mittelkamp parcel on which the street was at the time it was named.
Unlike what is usual in Hamburg, the house numbers are not distributed alternately even and odd on the street sides, but run in consecutive order on the west side from south to north and on the east side back from north to south ( horseshoe numbering ).
Educational institutions , a research institute and a news agency are located in Mittelweg: the Hamburg Art School and the Hamburg State Youth Music School , the German Press Agency , the only English pub in the Hanseatic city and the Hamburg Institute for Social Research . The journal of the Hamburg Institute for Social Research is called Mittelweg 36 after the address of the research facility . The presidential administration of the University of Hamburg is also in the middle.
There are also consulates of the states of Egypt , Argentina and Spain located there.
The street has a number of cultural monuments . These include the former living - and the summer house of John Fontenay near the Moorweide .
In the middle way, several stumbling blocks remind of people who lived on this street and were victims of the National Socialists . One of them was the politician Max Eichholz .
