Life and times of Salomon and Heinrich Heine |
Immenbecker Weg 31 Hamburg, Hamburg 21149 +49 (0)40 2811 2152 |
In 1832, the banker Salomon Heine had a little house built for the gardener at his summer residence at Elbchaussee. This house is the only remaining building of the whole complex, which was torn down in 1880. It was completely renovated in 1975-79, in order to serve cultural purposes from then on. Today it exhibits a collection of keepsakes, documents and photographs in memory of the man whose estate saved the half-destroyed city of Hamburg from going bankrupt after a big fire in 1842. Further exhibits show the life and work of Heine's famous nephew, the poet Heinrich Heine (1797-1856), who stayed in Hamburg for several periods between the years of 1815 and 1831.
