Imagine stepping back to the early 18th century. That’s when the Stavenhagenhaus, formerly known as Frustberg House, first emerged here in Hamburg.
The Stavenhagenhaus stands as a testament to the rich history of Grou00df Borstel. This former village, now a quarter of Hamburg, has seen many names. It was once called Burstolde, Burstelde, Borstel, Bossel, Calebostel and Kahle Borstel. These names reflect its humble beginnings. The name comes from Bur, meaning house, and stel, meaning place.
Grou00df Borstel itself has a history stretching back to the 11th century. But the Stavenhagenhaus marks a significant point in its development. It was before Grou00df Borstel was even incorporated into Hamburg in 1913.
The Stavenhagenhaus has undergone changes over the years. An exterior view exists of its south facade before its restoration in 1961. Today, the Stavenhagenhaus serves as a community center. You can find it at Frustbergstrau00dfe 4, in Grou00df Borstel.
Grou00df Borstel is located north of Eppendorf and south of Hamburg Airport. The Tarpenbek stream flows through it on its way to the River Alster.
The Stavenhagenhaus provides a tangible link to the past. It reminds us of the area’s evolution from a small village to a vibrant part of Hamburg. Take a moment to appreciate the Stavenhagenhaus. It is more than just a building. It’s a piece of Hamburg’s story.
