Rainville's garden around 1815

The Rainvilleterrasse is a small residential street in Hamburg-Ottensen . The eponymous garden restaurant Rainville existed in the 19th century in an elevated position above the Elbe 250 meters downstream of the Altona balcony . The current building, Rainvilleterrasse 4 , was built in the early 1930s as a nautical school; Since around 2015 it has housed a university and a technical college for communication design and a restaurant on the ground floor.

history

Building and garden

As early as the 17th century, wealthy merchants from Hamburg were running country houses and “pleasure gardens” in Neumühlen, Ottensen and Othmarschen. In particular, these were immigrant Dutch and Portuguese Jews who were used from their homeland to live in country houses with well-tended gardens in the summer months.

A number of politicians and diplomats are known as the previous owners of the site: the legal scholar Rutger Rulant (1568–1630), in 1652 the Leipzig mayor Christian Lorentz von Adlershelm (1608–1684), in 1661 the later Hanoverian envoy Johann Jacob von Hiebener (1623–1711) and in 1677 the Swedish resident Manuel Teixeira (1631-1705), the only son of Abraham Senior Teixeira and, like his father, envoy to the abdicated Queen Christina of Sweden . General Georg Ludwig von Köller-Banner bought it in 1776. When he moved to Stettin in 1781, he rented the house and garden "as a public inn". In 1794 the merchant (and from 1795 envoy of the Batavian Republic ) Balthasar Elias Abbema (1739–1805) acquired the property for 40,000 marks and had a country house built there by Christian Frederik Hansen in the same year .

The house, handed down from engravings and lithographs, was a two-story plastered building on a rectangular floor plan. The facade facing the Elbe was made up of four columns with a triangular gable and a loggia .

In the period that followed, ownership and ownership were changeable and at times not clear, which is why contradicting information can be found in the literature. In 1798 Constantin Joseph Banot bought the house and grounds. It is possible that the namesake César Rainville was already a tenant at that time. In 1799 he bought the property with Louis de Beaumont. From 1802 Rainville was registered as an innkeeper, but is said to have hosted guests before then. He ran an elegant tavern there and quickly turned it into a well-known attraction. “It doesn't seem to have been particularly good with Rainville's finances.” In 1811, lawyer Joh [ann] Chr [istoph] Georg Adler (1758–1815) bought the property at a public auction for the wealthy French diplomat de Bourrienne . Rainville became a tenant. In 1835 Mrs. Jeanne Rainville became the new owner in public bankruptcy proceedings.

With the industrialization of the banks of the Elbe, the location gradually lost its romantic flair. Rainville died in 1845, his wife in 1851. As in 1855, Baedeker also awarded a star in 1862 for “ Rainville's inn and garden with a beautiful view of the Elbe, on lovely summer afternoons, especially Sunday and Thursday, with harmony music from the Hamburger numerous visits from the fine world. ”In 1867 the house built by Christian F. Hansen was demolished. Houses were now being built on the extension of the Palmaille to the west, which was at the rear of the inn. On the Elbe slope, in the course of the expansion of the traffic connection from the Altona train station to the port facilities on the Elbe, landslides occurred in 1868 and 1876 , which even damaged part of the Neumühlen quays. The Rainvilleterrasse was finally built on a mighty retaining wall, on which the Neu-Rainville Society House was built in 1884 with à la carte restaurants and daily Gr. Garden concert established. As a result of the First World War, the company was given up. In 1921 the house was taken over by the railway management and used by various authorities until 1929.

Nautical school

After that it was canceled. In its place, the Prussian State Building Administration built the Altonaer Seefahrtschule according to a design by the architect Hans Meyer , an elongated cubic structure in the style of New Building with an emphasis on the east corner with protruding balconies. Shortly after the Second World War, the school was merged with the Hamburg Seafaring School, founded in 1749 , whose magnificent building, Bernhard-Nocht-Straße 76 , designed by Albert Erbe, was transferred to the German Weather Service .

In 2005 the city closed the nautical school and put the building up for sale. In March 2009, the Altona district assembly approved a design by the architects Allmann Sattler Wappner for a new building as the headquarters of Rickmers Reederei . After the shipping company said goodbye to these plans in June 2010, the city sold the site to a group of investors led by the architect Meinhard von Gerkan and the “Team Hamburg” project development team, Peter Jorzick. The seafaring school will be preserved, placed under monument protection and, after renovation, by the Academy for Architectural Culture (aac) of the gmp-Stiftung der Architekten Gerkan, Marg and Partner , the Brand University of Applied Sciences and the Design-Factory International - College of Communication Arts and Interactive Media GmbH used. According to a design by the Paris office of Michel Kagan & Associés, 32 condominiums are to be built on the school's former parking lot. In connection with the demonstrations in Hamburg on December 21, 2013 , 58 of the now completely renewed windows were smashed and bags of paint were thrown against the facade. Similar attacks were carried out on the GMP office and the Meinhard von Gerkans house.

The university and the technical college for communication design have started their work. On the ground floor of the house, the Rainvilles Elbterrassen restaurant opened in 2014 with a bar, private dining rooms and banquet hall, which had to close again in 2019.
