And this is the best lakefront location in Hamburg,” Witzel comments. “Buyers in the villa market are often looking for a specific combination of features, including a south- or west-facing garden to make the most of the sun, and a parking place—this home has separate, drivable entrances in and out—and so few properties have that.” From its stately salons to its expansive reception rooms and terraces, the home evokes the glamour ... More of high-society gatherings, both past and present. Before you marvel at the interiors, though, there’s the location to get to grips with. “It’s high privacy, but you can get to the inner city within three minutes by boat,” says Witzel, pointing out that the Rondeel merges into a canal that leads to the inner-city Alster Lake. The amphibious lifestyle is a hit with Hamburg’s upper-earning echelons, who are either those bored with sitting in traffic jams or eco-entrepreneurs who like to showcase their green credentials by navigating the city by bike or boat. Since Covid, wealthy buyers the world over have been seeking that rural-living-in-a-city combination. Throw in some prime waterfront, too, and the words “trophy property” start to get bandied around. A generous interior footprint gives way to luxury living spaces like a wine cellar Germany’s second biggest city doesn’t compete with Berlin or Frankfurt in the consciousness of buyers from outside of Europe Art Nouveau-inspired details and masterful millwork speak to the skill of the period’s finest ... More craftsmen. If there’s a property to whet buyers’ appetites, this is surely it. “It’s overwhelming,” says Witzel of the emotion at stepping into an entrance hall whose richly warm wood-paneled walls and ceiling feature ornate original marquetry—with paintings integrated into the woodwork—from the 1890s. Look up and you’ll see the decorative Art Nouveau glass cupola that radiates light throughout the three floors. In contrast comes the soothing whiteness and Art Nouveau elegance of the adjoining reception room whose French doors lead into the Winter Garden—a sumptuous sanctuary, with its billowing floor-to-ceiling curtains and crystal chandelier, that opens up on to the garden “like a private park,” says Witzel. Where the lawn meets the water is a wooden deck, plus two electric boats included in the sale. Hamburg’s height of waterfront living is truly on tap here. Decorative details and woodwork remain true to the Wilhelminian era The villa’s historic grandeur and art may be worthy of a museum—offer the right price and the owner may be inclined to leave the artworks Witzel suggests—but this is a home designed for family life too you may not expect to find a pink disco room in the basement—but dotcom millionaires’ kids are like any others and with the owner rarely in Hamburg for long these days and downsizing to an apartment with a concierge this is a gilded opportunity for the next generation seeking the opulence of a standalone villa on Hamburg’s premier pond for those who prefer to avoid the idiosyncrasies of the road named in honor of its original owner and paddle their way into town instead an invitation-only network of top-tier brokerages worldwide and the exclusive real estate partner of Forbes A new industrial heritage route through Barmbek-Winterhude has been developed in collaboration with the Historical Museums Foundation and the Museum of Work in Hamburg, a press release said Wednesday (14 August 2024). Visitors can discover 20 historical stops relating the city's industrial heritage. Four other routes already lead through cities in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region Other highlights include the Kampnagel cultural venue and the former Hinrich Voss margarine factory which now houses a health insurance company. Historical buildings such as the Winterhude water tower and Barmbek hospital’s water tower are also part of the tour Hamburg Hochbahn’s main garage in the former power station highlights key The new route is part of a comprehensive project to make industrial heritage accessible. Since 2011, the "Days of Industrial Culture on the Waterfront" have been held every two years, offering guided tours and events focusing on industrial monuments in the metropolitan region Lauenburg and Geesthacht have already launched similar tours to make these sights accessible The routes illustrate the economic and cultural influence of regional industry Another route is due to lead through Harburg. fw/mm/pb Tuesday to Friday: noon - 7:00pmSaturday: 11:00am - 4:00pm AddressPit's Wein Dorotheenstrasse 140 22301 Hamburg-Winterhude.How to get there ...var cex1 = "cGV0ZXJrb2NoQHBpdHN3ZWluLmRl";var dex1 = atob(cex1);dex1 = decodeURIComponent(escape(dex1));jQuery(document).ready(function() {jQuery(".ex1").html(""+dex1+"");});+49 173 705 85 37.pitswein.de Often, a gentle pling testifies to special moments: Whether it's a birthday party, a graduation or simply a wonderful moment underlined with a remarkable drop of wine. Peter Koch supplies connoisseurs in Winterhude and beyond with the right wine for every occasion in his wine shop, Pit's Wein. His logo - two wine glasses toasting each other - is a self-explanatory programme. But Pit, Peter's nickname, not only has one or two special bottles to offer. He knows how to tell a special story about each of them. And listening to him is a pleasure. As soon as he starts talking, you think you can see the Sicilian vines in your mind's eye, and you can already sense the sea breeze on your palate. He raves about one of his current favourite bottles: a Grillo Mozia 2021 from the small island of Mozia, a few kilometres from the Sicilian mainland. "The island wine from the autochthonous Grillo grape variety naturally benefits from the Italian sun and the cooling coastal wind," the wine connoisseur reveals. A small selection of delicacies such as oils, sugo and pasta (spaghetti and fusilli) complete Pit's wine range. At the moment, the Portuguese vineyards are particularly close to his heart, and he is currently delving into them in order to expand the range in the shop: "There are such great wines and growing regions there," he begins to rave about the Douro Valley, for example. With so much passion for the juice of the vine, it is little wonder that Peter once turned his hobby of wine into a profession. You immediately feel the passion and expertise around each of his bottles when you enter his cosy little shop. And so you go in search of a new favourite bottle and let Pit tell you something about it. For him, wine is much more than a drink; it is an experience to be shared and enjoyed with friends and loved ones. It is a matter of honour that one or two glasses are also enjoyed on-site. The perfect place for this is undoubtedly the lush olive tree and bench in front of the shop - a great place for a toast.

The philosophy is simple and complex: to serve every guest the perfect cup of coffee. The basis for this ambitious project is the in-house roastery in Hamburg Ottensen and, of course, the raw material, which the Codos team obtains from small coffee farmers whose growing regions are Central and South America. On the company's website, interested fragrant lovers can get a deeper insight into the origin of the coffee beans. Then, you can taste the love for the natural product in a cup of Codos coffee. Codos coffees are offered in different roasting degrees and flavours. Cakes and other baked goods are provided for physical well-being on a more substantial level. These come from their own bakery, Black Apron, and taste as good and fresh as they look. We had the pleasure of enjoying the tender and cool-melting New York Cheesecake. The graham crackers are homemade to achieve their crunchy base and the sour cream for its creamy mixture. My companion delighted her palate with a tart with peanut filling and a coating of dark chocolate. Yummy! The history of Codos began in 2014 in Hamburg with a small brew bar in Schanze, which had not existed for a few months. In addition to the aforementioned roastery, however, there are now 3 more cafés in Hamburg. And fortunately, now also in Winterhude. We are curious to see how and where the story of Codos will develop further. Still, for the moment, we can say that anyone who enjoys homemade delicacies and delicious cafés should stop here without any ifs or buts. SINGAPORE -- For millions of homeless people around the world finding shelter from the elements can be a challenge Extreme winter cold and summer heat can be fatal to people who aren't sufficiently protected the triple-layer weatherproof fabric is draped over a basic structure assembled from common PVC pipes The idea is for people to find or purchase the inexpensive pipes on their own so the tent fabric and joint parts can be shipped to them more easily Here's Kumar demonstrating how to set up the tent in roughly 15 minutes: Kumar told Mashable that he first sketched out the tent's design in 2014 The most recent version is the eighth iteration which includes trimmings such as ventilation windows The team also decided to make the fabric drape reversible -- in the winter billionBricks is now raising funds on Kickstarter to try and provide 500 tents to families in need They first concluded a small six-month pilot in New Delhi in which 15 homeless families were sheltered through winter and summer months and they said that this initial testing was very positive such as built-in lighting -- a feature that might find its way into the next design upgrade with solar lights Some families have also requested larger tents The structures are designed to hold two adults and three children but Kumar noticed families of up to seven sleeping in them "I saw (the tent) as an emergency shelter for winter They said it was the first home they've had in years," he said billionBricks is working with other non-profits and governments to reach more homeless people with the product The company plans for these groups to fund the tents but is also working on a financing plan that would let homeless people pay for their tents over time Its next test project will be far more ambitious with plans to send 1,000 WinterHyde tents to countries in South Asia by the end of the year But billionBricks faces more barriers than simply reaching the homeless "I've faced a lot of lack of urgency on the ground Some media coverage -- but no heads roll." Kumar also told Mashable that WeatherHYDE is just the first step in the billionBricks plan for a more sustainable future in communities most hard-hit by high levels of homelessness They are now working on building up public institutions using old containers and helping to provide basic services to the most disadvantaged The next step is to try and install solar panels into the tents could be used by the families to be sold back into the electric grid She previously reported on news and tech at The Business Times Are you looking for up-to-date information on project developments in Hamburg Find out about Hamburg’s biggest and most recent building and project developments You will be able to gain an overview of what’s going on alongside information on how to get in touch with the relevant project developers.

The unmistakable aesthetics of the Arne Jacobsen House lies in its reduced design language and functionality. By 2027, modern, flexibly divisible working units, communal areas and new views over Hamburg are to be created on an area of around 50,000 m². The Domstrasse project is located in the heart of Hamburg. The architectural firm CARSTEN ROTH won the competition and is responsible for the planned new office buildings. Around 13,300 m² of office space, rental apartments and approx. 1,250 m² for retail and gastronomy are being built on the site. Überseequartier will be the most metropolitan quarter in the HafenCity district. Over 6,000 jobs will be created here. Providing 23 % retail space, there will also be space for restaurants, entertainment, offices, hotels and residential units. Alster-Gate is a prestigious, centrally located business location and a beacon of modern work culture. Situated close to Hamburg's city centre and the Outer Alster lake, the site will be a new urban landmark with excellent connectivity to Hamburg's public transport network. The Innovation Port is being built modularly and in several construction phases. The largest construction phase of the HAMBURG INNOVATION PORT, "HIP Two", measuring 20,000 m², is currently under development - once all construction work has been completed, the innovation center will comprise around 60,000 m² of gross floor space for around 2,500 workplaces. The new Spaldinghof, an office building with eight upper floors and three basement floors, is being built in a central location in Hamburg. As a two-pane building, the Spaldinghof offers an optimal building structure - the floor-to-ceiling window fronts of the above-ground floors create a light-flooded and modern working atmosphere on approx. 1,700 m² of office space. Real estate developer Procom is planning to develop a multi-purpose quarter at the Nikolaifleet canal, featuring high-end office space, approx. 150 apartments, alongside eateries and retail space. The success story of Alter Wall continues further: the new design concept developed by Winking Froh Architekten for the road section towards Rödingsmarkt impresses with its lively, attractive mix of office, hotel, retail and residential space. The Hamburg-Altona ICE train station will be a visionary landmark – for the district of Altona as well as for Hamburg as a whole.

This room was conceived and created by Andrea von Götz, who started out as a collector and, in her own words, stumbled into the art business. Once there, she discovered a lack of platforms, especially for young artists. This lack of opportunities to make art and artists visible contradicts Andrea von Goetz's concern to bring art closer to the people. Art can be an important, binding element for a society that sees itself as liberal. It points out, draws attention, provokes, questions, and discusses socially relevant issues. And so, the collector, curator, mediator, and networker has committed to promoting young artists since 2007. In addition, she develops and realizes concepts in the field of art and culture through her office VGS Art Development, founded in 2011, and advises private individuals and companies on the acquisition of contemporary art. Since 3 December 2021, the exhibition "JUST BELIEVE IN ME. IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT I NEED" with the works of Kazunori Kura takes place at the Collectors Room. Artist Eduardo Palomares describes Kazunori Kura's works as follows: "An artistic and historical interpretation of reality. To understand this reality, he works with the essential aspects of humanity. Religion, symbolism, history, politics and power." Sitting in front of a white sheet of paper, a piece of material, standing in the landscape, Kazunori wants to create something. Something he can believe in. As multi-layered as Kazunori's works are, so are the techniques he masters and uses. Kazunori Kura works graphically, he sculptures, installs, writes, films, sounds, and so on. To make poetic and fictional structures visible in his works, Kura uses quotations from historical and scientific texts. There is still some time to discover the works of this exciting young artist in Hamburg. The exhibition at Collectors Room will run at least until the end of January 2022. So hurry up and go there, I would like to shout to you. "What do you believe in? And what do you rely on to draw? The line extends like a path you are walking. Just like the line is your life." - Excerpt from Vertical Story. Film. July 2019.

While I've always been full of appreciation of my run-of-the-mill bicycle, I must now have a new one. Or two. Because I lost my heart to Puschi Schmidtkes Radsalon – a store with an abundance of two-wheeled beauties that'll make anyone weak in the knees! Arndt-B. Janssen has always had a thing for bikes. At 14 he travelled through Norway on a racer. No distance was ever too far, no road too rocky. But his dream of owning a bike store only came true in 2009, after a first attempt at a career in IT. At Puschi Schmitkes Radsalon – a name that is a self creation and has obviously nothing to do with his real name, but sounds just so much better – you'll find bicycles that will exceed your expectations, in both quality and looks. It is also the only store in Northern Germany that sells bikes by renowned British bicycle manufacturer Pashley. This long-established company from the UK has been crafting classic men's and women's bicycles since 1926. Each piece is unique and made with inexplicable passion and love for detail. Everything is arranged and staged so perfectly, the store truly deserves the 'salon' in its name. Treating yourself to one of their new bicycles is nothing but pure joy. However, Puschki Schmidtke has a soft spot for broken bikes too, and offers an all-round service that takes care of any fixing, patching, mending or renewing necessary.
