Wonderfully beautiful destination for an outing, a visit is recommended and interesting at the same time 👍🏼 The park was designed between 1914 and 1933 by the head of the garden authority, Ferdinand Tutenberg. With approx. 205 hectares, it is Hamburg's largest public green space.

The building is the Stadion Eck at Stadionstraße 1, 22525 Hamburg. It functions as a bar, restaurant, and event location, known for traditional German cuisine and live football events. The location can be booked for private events such as birthdays and offers space for up to 100 people in the beer garden. Highly recommended.

The Altona Main Cemetery is a 63-hectare park cemetery in the northwest of Hamburg; the main entrance is located on Stadionstraße. It was opened in 1923 and, in addition to traditional burials, also offers HSV graves, Muslim graves, as well as natural tree graves and memorial gardens, and a war memorial. Due to its location, it is also a local recreation area and is popular with walkers. For specific inquiries or to plan a burial, you can contact the cemetery administration directly or view the information on the Hamburg.de Altona Main Cemetery page. A visit is recommended and interesting at the same time 👍🏼.

Uwe Seeler Foot A place of beautiful memories, the bronze monument in honor of HSV idol Uwe Seeler has become a place of touching remembrance. Back then, on August 24, 2005, when the oversized bronze sculpture was unveiled in his honor, Uwe Seeler was naturally in the midst of it all. Together with numerous invited guests, he inaugurated his own monument and demonstrated what had characterized him throughout his life: Pure joy of life, bliss, humility, and gratitude. Almost 17 years later, the Uwe Seeler Foot has become a place of memory. Since the death of the HSV idol on July 21, countless people have made a pilgrimage to the landmark and paid their last respects to "Uns Uwe". Many flowers, candles, and wreaths were laid down. But also very personal dedications: A condolence book, several letters, and notes with memorial sayings. Of course, tears flow again and again among the mourners, but here and there a smile can also be seen on their faces.

The Volksparkstadion in Hamburg is a football stadium. It is located within the Bahrenfeld district in Hamburg's Altona Volkspark and is the home ground of Hamburger SV. The stadium was opened in 1953 and was converted into a pure football stadium between 1998 and 2000. In addition to football matches, concerts and other events also take place in the stadium. The facility is very clearly laid out. A visit is recommended and interesting at the same time 👍🏼.

You wouldn't have expected the Dahlia Garden here. I like the variety when you ride through a nice park area here. It's part of the Green Ring around Hamburg.
