About the situation

The Classic the Elbe suburbs

Othmarschen is the Hamburg Elbe suburb closest to the city center. The Elbe defines this district just as much as exclusive villas and residential buildings in the Hanseatic style on spacious properties along the Elbchaussee or near the riverbank. They are among the most sought-after properties in a traditionally tight market. The Elbe beach invites you to stroll and sunbathe. Culinary desires are met at the highest level. Renowned schools and excellent leisure facilities contribute to Othmarschen's reputation as a popular residential area for discerning families.
