Hanseatic history: travel back in time to Lemsahl-Mellingstedt with Engel & Völkers!

The name of the district is derived from "Sahl", a term for clay ponds that characterised the area in the Middle Ages. "Mellingstedt", on the other hand, refers to a Saxon settlement dating back more than 1,000 years. After the major fire in the city of Hamburg in the middle of the 19th century, Lemsahl developed into one of the central locations for the production of yellow clinker bricks, which were needed for reconstruction. Even today, traditional buildings made of Lemsahl bricks can still be found in the centre of Hamburg and are a reminder of times gone by.

Some of the building plots and houses that were built back then still adorn the cityscape today and achieve top prices when sold with Engel & Völkers Hamburg Alstertal.

Numerous great jockeys such as Charlie Mills, Walter Heitmann and Hans Frömming started their careers at the racecourse, which existed from 1911 to 1976. Today, exclusive housing estates can be found here, which have won international urban development awards for their unique design and still make Farmsen-Berne a sought-after property location today.

Living close to idyllic nature reserves: that's Hamburg Meiendorf!
