If you walk through the streets of Barmbek, you’ll meet friendly, uncomplicated folks. There is no trace of jet-setters and superficiality here. Down-to-earth residents of all ages share the former working-class neighborhood and live in its unaffected red-brick buildings.
Many of the buildings in Barmbek were destroyed in the Second World War and rebuilt in the post-war years. Historical markers on some of the buildings remain as reminders of the past. Today the traditional working class district Barmbek is divided in two areas: Barmbek Süd and Barmbek Nord. The characteristic architectural style is red brick. In the southern part, where the district borders on Uhlenhorst, you may find some beautiful old Art Nouveau buildings. Lovers of modern architecture will enjoy looking around the northern part of the neighborhood.
Barmbek-Nord and Barmbek-Süd are very different from one another. The Fuhlsbüttler Straße, or “Fuhle” as it is called, connects the two parts. The road is an important north-south connection. Numerous shops line the street and enliven the urban space. In Barmbek-Nord in particular, some construction projects have been recently implemented and residents can enjoy modern waterfront living.
