About the situation

Urban living like on the Land

Generous villas, thatched country houses with extensive grounds and gardens, an intact village center with old trees, and almost rural tranquility – this is what the affluent Hamburg district of Volksdorf offers its residents. Nature lovers and families feel particularly at home here in the northeast of the Hanseatic city. At the same time, Hamburg city center is quickly and easily accessible by subway: a direct line connects Volksdorf to Jungfernstieg in about 35 minutes.

Houses in the traditional Hamburg style with blooming fruit trees in spring.

Was Volksdorf distinguishes

Thatched-roof houses

One of the few Hamburg locations with thatched roofs - from former farmhouses to architect-designed new buildings featuring thatch as a design element

Equestrian Center

Multiple riding clubs, riding and show jumping tournaments — Volksdorf is one of Hamburg's top addresses for equestrian-loving families

Village structures

A marketplace with a weekly market, old farms, the Volksdorf Museum of Local History and the Volksdorf Pond — a well-established village on the outskirts of the big city

Large properties

Plots of 1,000 to 2,500 square meters are not uncommon here—plenty of space for playing children, room for the dog to run, with a high degree of privacy.
