A beautiful piece of old-Hamburg is preserved in these typical residential homes which date from the 17th century. The oldest of the houses (a and m/n) can be traced back to 1615/1620 and the whole ensemble was enlarged in 1676. A narrow alley leads between these half-timbered houses. Among the details worth noting is the way the chimneys are screwed onto the roof, and a sign on the house in the shape of scales. House c is an original widows house in the 17th century-style, which you can visit. The flats were let to old people and widows until 1969. Among retailers, you will find a tearoom and a nice second-hand bookshop in the alley.
