Dulsberg

Dulsberg is a quarter in Hamburg-Nord, a borough of Hamburg, Germany. It lies between Wandsbek to the east and south. The quarter’s name comes from the hill that once stood there. In 1906 the S-Bahn station Friedrichsberg opened on its edge. The hill was part of Barmbek until 1951, when Dulsberg became its own quarter.

The quarter was planned in the 1920s by Fritz Schumacher, the city’s Director of Constructions. After the Second World War the buildings were rebuilt using their original outer walls. The underground railway reached Dulsberg in 1962 and 1963, adding two new stations: Alter Teichweg and Straßburger Straße. The S-Bahn station Friedrichsberg still serves the area today.

Visitors find a quiet residential district with wide streets and low-rise blocks. The rebuilt houses show Schumacher’s early 20th-century style. Green spaces and small parks dot the quarter, giving it a calm feel. The S-Bahn and underground stations make it easy to reach from central Hamburg. The streets named after French places recall the area’s history.
