Harvestehude (German pronunciation:[ˌhaʁvɛstəˈhuːdə]ⓘ;Hamburgisch:Harvstehuud) is a quarter ofHamburg,Germany, in the borough ofEimsbüttel. It is located on the eastern boundaries of the borough near lakeAußenalster.
Harvestehude borders the quarters ofRotherbaum,Eimsbüttel, andHoheluft-West, all within the Eimsbüttel borough, as well asHoheluft-Ost,Eppendorf, andWinterhude in the neighbouringHamburg-Nord borough. Harvestehude is located on aGeest ridge west of the Außenalster. To the north the canal ofIsebekkanal separates Harvestehude of Hoheluft-Ost and Eppendorf.
The name is derived from the former name of the local St. John's Monastery,Herwardeshude, which had been located inAltona near today's street and small stream ofPepermölenbek at least since 1246. Herward was a common name in the 12th and 13th century, so it is assumed that the name means a stockyard near a ferry dock (Hude), which was founded by a man called Herward. Later, in 1295, the monastery moved to today's Harvestehude area, transferring the monastery's name to the new area. Hamburg history writer Otto Beneke noticed that the place was also calledHerbstehude by some, which was according to him indeed correct, becauseHerbst (autumn) translates toHarvest inLow German.[2] In 1530, the monastery was demolished, and the area came under municipal administration.
Contrary to what its name suggests, the church ofSt. John's Harvestehude, which was built 1880-82, is today located in the neighbouring Rotherbaum quarter. Conversely, the Tennis courtAm Rothenbaum and theNDR broadcasting center ("Funkhaus am Rothenbaum") are located in the quarter of Harvestehude.[3]
