Brausebad und Waschküche. Eingebaute Nachhaltigkeit in Altona.

In the organizer's words:

An event as part of the Hamburg Architecture Summer 2026.

Buildings, spaces and places play an important role in how people behave - also in terms of sustainability. What architectural and design solutions are there to make environmentally friendly behavior commonplace for the residents of a building? On this tour through Altona/Ottensen, we will get to know examples of "built-in sustainability" - historical ones, such as in Gustav Oelsner's reform apartment buildings, but also contemporary ones, such as communal housing projects.

What makes living in these buildings environmentally friendly - and also socially responsible? We delve into the world of communal laundry rooms, garden plots, fitted kitchens and guest apartments. The thesis: how sustainably people behave in a building depends on the building. A tour for anyone interested in architecture, social history, the building and housing turnaround and ecological living.

A tour with Susan Rößner, waste consultant and environmental educator from Ottensen.
