Landhaus

All the ‘Instenhäuser’ (houses for landless farm labourers) – and also the forge – were once part of a large model estate (ornamented farm) created by Caspar Voght, over 200 years ago, in the beautiful district of Flottbek. In 1828, this model estate passed to the Hamburg merchant and senator Jenisch who, a few years later, then built the famous Jenisch House and created the large park.

The renovation of the historical townhouses on Jürgensallee 102-124 and the house on Baron-Voght-Straße 79 (today the restaurant “Zur Flottbeker Schmiede”) was extremely time-consuming and cost-intensive. Indeed, the entire building period spanned more than 4 years after the property was acquired by the owners Dr Karin and Prof Dr Lutz Fischer, in July 2003. Following a complicated procedure to obtain the building permit, the structural fabric of the old buildings had to be carefully restored and partly reinforced because the ancient structures of the buildings were in a state of serious decay. The owners carried out these restoration works in close cooperation with the Hamburg Monument Protection Office and they were completed in 2007. In 2022, the interiors of the historical townhouses were completely renovated and furnished.
