Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld
Quarters

For the first time in Hamburg's history, Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld is creating an integrated location for science and research, business, innovation, living, life and leisure. Each quarter will have its own character depending on the focus. The districts of Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld will be optimally (further) developed for their different uses. At the same time, they fit into the overall concept and together form a vibrant whole of science, business and neighborhood in a highly attractive urban environment.

Four areas characterize the Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld:

In the Volkspark quarters, a mixed neighborhood for studying and teaching, living in various forms, social infrastructure and leisure is being created - embedded in a future-oriented mobility concept with excellent public transport connections. The area extends from the current trotting track to the future A7 freeway overpass to the east.  

The Campus West expands the spatial scope to include facilities at the University of Hamburg as well as other renowned institutes such as the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter. At the same time, newly interconnected public spaces are being created on a campus designed with biodiversity in mind, which fosters optimal conditions for exchange and innovation. A new axis is being established across the Luruper Chaussee to the campus area in the neighborhoods along the Volkspark , linking the two development zones together.

The DESY Kernareal has been an internationally outstanding address for basic research for 65 years. This is where the success story of Science City began.

The Innovationspark Altona in close proximity to DESY Kernareal and Campus West is a magnet for start-ups and scale-ups in technology and research at Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld.
