Stadtvilla on Johnsallee: a piece of jewelry that nobody wants!

Johnsallee 3, 20148 Hamburg, Deutschland - A true jewel in the heart of Rotherbaum! The magnificent city villa at Johnsallee 3, just a stone's throw from the Alster, has been empty since 2018 and is increasing. With her large windows, the invitingly light facade and the elegant balcony with ornate railings, it could be a bright example of Hamburg architecture. But instead she remains unused and ensures shake of the head with the residents.

What is behind this enigmatic vacancy? The city tied its hands! The reason? An owner in Georgia who apparently cannot be reached. Letters that have been sent to him come back, and the living space of the villa is too big to simply be used. This adventurous Situation raises questions: Why doesn't the city intervene? Why does this piece of jewelry remain unaffected while the neighborhood suffers?

The city remains idly

The inactivity of the authorities is a slap in the face for the citizens who want a living neighborhood. While other buildings in the area are blooming and thriving, the villa remains a shadow of itself. The residents wonder how long this condition can continue and whether there is really no solution to bring this architectural gem back to life.
