On and off the construction site: Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier takes shape

On and off the construction site: Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier takes shape 1046 554 Südliches Überseequartier
Until 2020, the construction site of the Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier grew more in depth than in height: Bored piles, jacking piers and anchors up to 30 meters underground were set and the floor slab was poured – as a foundation for the basement floors 3, 2 and 1. But in the past months of 2021, which is now coming to an end, did the buildings visibly rise up to the sky – in part, incl. the basement floors, seven floors and more than 100,000 square meters of floor slab and raft area have already been erected. At times, 800 people per day poured 59,000 cubic meters of concrete, laid 11,000 tons of steel reinforcement and installed 3,800 tons of composite beams and columns from steel. read more

Result of Community Day 2021: Ten big buckets of trash and a lot of fun 604 539 Südliches Überseequartier
The Alster, Hamburg’s blue center and important recreational area in the middle of the city, attracts thousands of water sports enthusiasts, joggers and walkers, especially on nice days. Particularly the west bank is characterized by a lot of nature and a large park. But also the many small canals are lined by gardens or green overgrown banks and offer habitat for many animals – from the majestic swan to the more exotic turtle. Unfortunately, such a large body of water in the middle of the city also collects a lot of trash, which is not only not a pretty sight, but also a danger to the many animals… read more
