Slot construction
The back of slit structures, here at the cathedral school behind the New Mariendom in Hamburg.
Multi -storey residential buildings built in Hamburg between 1893 and 1914 are primarily known as slotted buildings, which, with their T-shaped floor plan, result in a frieze-like chain of buildings with narrow light slits on the courtyard side. The floor plan of the apartments has a shape that is reminiscent of a bone, which is why they were and are popularly called Hamburg bones .
The basis for this form were building regulations that had been issued after the cholera epidemic of 1892 to improve lighting and ventilation options in the apartments. These urban structures shaped the urban districts that were built up in the late 19th century, such as Eimsbüttel , Eppendorf , Winterhude , Barmbek-Süd and Hamm .
After the destruction in the Second World War and the demolitions in the post-war period, the affected areas were thinned out, lower down and often rebuilt in rows .
