The New Dammtor Synagogue was a synagogue in Hamburg's Grindel district. It was one of the first synagogues of Conservative Judaism and was built in 1895 in the orientalizing style. During the November pogrom of 1938 it was desecrated, but through private donations it was possible to restore it to such an extent that church services could still take place for a while. In 1943, the building was destroyed by bombs.

Due to today's district boundaries, the church is located in the Rotherbaum district, not Harvestehude.

Sight 5: Budge-Palais

Show sight on map

The Budge-Palais is a classicist villa building by the architect Martin Haller at Harvestehuder Weg 12, corner of Milchstraße, in the Hamburg district of Rotherbaum in the district of Eimsbüttel. It was built in 1884 as a residential building and later rebuilt several times. From 1903 it was inhabited by Henry (1840–1928) and Emma Budge (1852–1937). After a dubious purchase by the city of Hamburg, it was the seat of the Reich Governor's Office under Gauleiter Karl Kaufmann from 1938 to 1945. Since 1959, the building has been used by the Hamburg University of Music and Drama (HfMT) and has been expanded with extensions of modern architecture. In April 2011, after a restitution request, an agreement was reached with the Budge heirs, and the palace remains the property of the city.

Show sight on map

The Harvestehuder Weg is a street in the Hamburg district of Eimsbüttel, which runs along the foreshore of the Outer Alster from the Alte Rabenstraße to the Klosterstern over a length of two kilometers through the districts of Rotherbaum and Harvestehude. With numerous free-standing villas from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in the middle of large, partly park-like gardens, it is considered a boulevard of the Hanseatic city and, along with the Elbchaussee, a testimony to the wealth of Hamburg's merchants and entrepreneurs during the Wilhelminian period.
