Rotherbaum ( Low German : Rothenboom ) is a district in the Eimsbüttel district of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg . Often Rotherbaum also refers to a larger area around the Rothenbaumchaussee.
geography
Geographical location
Rotherbaum is surrounded by the outer Alster and the district of St. George in the East, Harvestehude (is the border in the north Hallerstraße ), urban districts Eimsbüttel (is the road border in northwestern When Schlump ) and Sternschanze in the southwest. To the south lie St. Pauli , in the southeast of the New Town , close to the railway station Hamburg-Dammtor . The line of the Hamburg-Altona connecting line , which runs over the Lombard bridge, forms the border here.
Origin of name
The name Rotherbaum was derived from the Rothen Baum , a guard post at the Rothenbaumchaussee in the time of the city fortifications . The post was at the starting point of the road to Eppendorf , at a crossing over a stream called Hundebek and is said to have had a red barrier . It is noteworthy that the place name, despite the spelling in one word and with the historical th, often occurs in a bent form (“am Rothenbaum” etc.).
In addition to the precisely delimited district, Rotherbaum is sometimes used to designate a larger district around Rothenbaumchaussee than the district boundaries encompass. The tennis stadium or the NDR radio house are located in the Harvestehude district, but at the same time (in relation to the district) "am Rothenbaum".
history
Altona_Hamburg_Harburg.png)
The former Dammtor used to be the transition point from Hamburg to the neighboring towns to the northwest. In the late 18th century, there were country houses and garden plots in front of the city gate. In 1813/14, after the wars of liberation at the end of the French era , these were destroyed. The ship broker John Fontenay , after whom the entire area between the Alster, Badestrasse and Mittelweg as well as the streets Fontenay and Fontenay-Allee are named, bought land in front of the Dammtor on a large scale around 1816.
After the gate was lifted in 1860, the area became increasingly populated. Wealthy citizens mainly built the area east of Rothenbaumchaussee with villas and townhouses. In the western part, where the Grindelviertel is located, apartment buildings were soon built. In 1871 Rotherbaum became a suburb of Hamburg, and in 1894 its district.
The founding of the university in 1919 and the concentration of public administration (telephone exchange office 1912, Museum für Völkerkunde 1912, Norddeutscher Rundfunk 1924, later the health authority, regional finance directorate, federal asset management, site administration of the Bundeswehr) and the gradually settled consulates were formative for the Development of the Rotherbaum district.
Around 15 percent of the residents in Harvestehude and Rotherbaum were Jews in the mid-1920s. There were several synagogues before the Nazi persecution, u. a. the Bornplatz synagogue . Remembered the fate of the Jewish population of Rotherbaum u. a. the place of the Jewish deportees next to the main building of the university. See also: Article District Eimsbüttel .
In the post-war period, the Curiohaus trials of a British military court against SS perpetrators took place in Rotherbaum .
statistics
- Minor quota: 13.6% [Hamburg average: 16.3% (2017)].
- Elderly rate: 15.7% [Hamburg average: 18.2% (2017)].
- Proportion of foreigners: 16.9% [Hamburg average: 17.1% (2017)].

Rotherbaum is one of the richest districts of Hamburg. The average income per taxpayer is 68,191 euros annually (2013) and is therefore almost twice as high as the overall Hamburg average.
Quarters
Grindel
The Grindelviertel is the location of the university and is therefore characterized by student life. Also on the peculiarities of the Grindel as a Jewish quarter in Hamburg see article Grindel (Hamburg) .
Pöseldorf
The name Pöseldorf is said to be derived from pöseln , which means something like "gardening around without great economic success". When the few houses in this garden area burned down in 1813, sheds and houses for coachmen, craftsmen, shopkeepers and servants were built here between Pöseldorfer Weg and Magdalenenstraße.
Pöseldorf is now a district with single houses and villas near the Alster. It is known for its numerous dining establishments and art galleries. The Milky Way in the district is a street named after the dairy traders who used to live there. There you will find restaurants, bars, pubs and nightclubs lined up at short intervals. It can be reached via the architecturally interesting tower path in the direction of the Alster.

Buildings
The buildings of the university that are visible from afar as landmarks include the Geomatikum and the Philosophenturm , the tallest buildings in the district. Other important buildings of the university are the main building with the modern wing structures donated by Helmut and Hannelore Greve on Edmund-Siemers-Allee, the Audimax on Von-Melle-Park and the so-called “horse stable” on Allende-Platz, where Ernst Cassirer is already taught.
Not far from the university is the listed Schlüterstrasse telephone office , where the first North German radio station - the forerunner of the NDR - began broadcasting in 1924 . The radio operation of the NDR is still in Rotherbaum, in the NDR radio house on Rothenbaumchaussee .

Sports
tennis
The Hamburg ATP tournament is held regularly in July. In 2006, the Masters Series tournament at Hamburg's Rothenbaum, as it is commonly known, took place for the 100th time. The tournament has been part of the ATP World Tour 500 since 2009 . However, the stadium and the entire tennis facility actually already belong to the neighboring district of Harvestehude.
swim
For the first time, an international swimming event took place at Rothenbaum. For the Deutscher Ring Aquatics on August 12 and 13, 2006, the tennis court was converted into a swimming arena and a mobile pool with a capacity of 700,000 liters of water was used.
rowing
The oldest German rowing club, the Hamburger and Germania rowing club, and the rowing club Favorite Hammonia are located on the banks of the Alster .
Soccer
The Rothenbaum Stadium , in which Hamburger SV played, was the venue for many German soccer championships. Today there are apartments and offices there. The HSV had its office diagonally across from the stadium on Rothenbaumchaussee, but already in Harvestehude.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
From Theodor-Heuss-Platz (until December 12, 1965, the forecourt was called Loigny- Platz ) in front of the Dammtorbahnhof, three large traffic axes run through Rotherbaum. Edmund-Siemers-Allee / Grindelallee in the west, the Rothenbaumchaussee , which runs in two lanes in the north, and the somewhat narrower, slightly winding Mittelweg a little further east, also in the north -South direction. The Schlüterstraße and a few other streets in the university quarter are traffic-calmed, as has the Grindelhof since 2001 . The six-lane street Alster Glacis connects to the city center in an easterly direction via the Kennedy Bridge . Alsterufer Street is closed in front of the US Consulate for security reasons.
The central hub for rail traffic is the Dammtorbahnhof , a long-distance train station with ICE traffic. Here the S-Bahn lines S11 (temporarily), S21 and S31 run on the connecting line . Rotherbaum is connected at its extreme western end by the Schlump stop on the U2 and U3 lines. In the north-south direction, the district is crossed by the U1 underground line , which has a stop on the northern district boundary on Hallerstrasse . An underground stop on Johnsallee near the university campus has long been discussed and demanded by student representatives, but a realization is just as unlikely as the underground line from Stephansplatz up Grindelallee via Hoheluftbrücke to Edmund-Siemers-Platz , as provided for in the zoning plan , even if the previously planned Hamburg tram will no longer be realized with this street.
Metrobus line 5, which together with line 4 serves Grindelallee, is the most popular bus line in Europe with 50,000 passengers a day, according to Hochbahn . This is why double articulated buses also operate here at frequent intervals. Accidents with buses often happen on Grindelallee, often caused by turning vehicles, which is why z. T. locks were erected. Other important bus lines are the Metrobus line 15 in west-east direction on Hallerstraße, line 109 on Mittelweg and express bus line 34 on Rothenbaumchaussee.
Established businesses
In the south-east of Rotherbaum in particular, some companies are based in higher office buildings: these include Signal Iduna (Neue Rabenstrasse), the HanseMerkur insurance group (Siegfried-Wedells-Platz), British American Tobacco and formerly GlaxoSmithKline (both banks of the Alster) and the Multimedia Center Rotherbaum .
media
Rotherbaum is also considered a media district. The television station Hamburg 1 is located in the media center on Rothenbaumchaussee, 17:30 Sat.1 Regional also produces its program here. The German press agency is based on Mittelweg . The NDR radio house is often referred to as the radio house on Rothenbaum, but is located in Harvestehude. The Milchstrasse publishing group (part of Hubert Burda Media since 2004 , including Fit for Fun magazines , TV Spielfilm ) had its headquarters in the street of the same name for a long time, but is now based in Eppendorf.
The former Gruner and Jahr publishing house is located on the Outer Alster. The so-called “ Affenfelsen ” on the Alsterufer street, not least because of the terrace-like construction of the building, was an important scene in 1983 in the Stern magazine's affair over the forged Hitler diaries .
Public facilities
The Hamburg Waterways and Shipping Office is located on Moorweidenstraße.
Education and Research
The district is shaped by the University of Hamburg . Most of the institutes and the main building are located in the Rotherbaum district, to a large extent in the Grindelviertel . Some so-called affiliated institutes can be found in Rotherbaum : The Research Center for Contemporary History in Hamburg , the Institute for the History of German Jews and the Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy at the University of Hamburg are located in Straße Beim Schlump . The Heimhuderstraße is the address of the Hans Bredow Institute for Media Research. The Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI) is also located there. The Hamburg Institute for Social Research , which has the form of an independent foundation, is located in the middle .
In Rotherbaum there are 15 kindergartens, a primary school (on Turmweg) and a secondary school, the Catholic high school Sophie-Barat-Schule in Warburgstrasse. In 2007 a total of 1,538 students were taught in the district. The State Technical College for Installation Technology (“G2”) is also located on the Bundesstrasse , the State Foreign Language School (“H15”) is at Mittelweg 42a and the Hamburg Vocational School for Cosmetics GmbH is at Hoheluftchaussee. The Jewish Talmud Torah School , which existed from 1805 to 1942, has also been in existence again since 2002 .
The Wilhelm-Gymnasium , whose former building in Rotherbaum is now the old building of the Hamburg State and University Library , is now in Harvestehude.
The Hamburg State Youth Music School and the Hamburg University of Music and Theater are two important music educational institutions in the district.
