The park and its lake were designed after the Second World War by filling a low plain at the Schleemer pond with debris from Hamburg.
At the end of the underground line U2 the small district of Mümmelmannsberg evolved some decades ago. The high-rise estate is framed by pretty terrace and family houses. Small courtyards and many parks between the apartment blocks characterise this quarter, which also has two shopping centres and one of the most modern school buildings in Germany to offer. Mümmelmannsberg has frequently been used as location for various films and music videos. The district constantly produces new and exciting, sometimes slightly gloomy motives and has something for everybody's taste.
In the 70ts the educational center Mümmelmannsberg was designed and built for the urban settlement Mümmelmannsberg. Over 40 years has been huge inner rooms and an esthetic color concept in blue and orange dominating the character of the rooms. Since the foundation in 1972 has been the school a daily school and almost today the school continues the educational mission of a “school for everybody”.
The Öjendorf cemetery is one of the newest of Hamburg´s three main cemeteries. Designed as a cemetery with a park, Öjendorf grew to become an urban space after the Second World War. In 1966, the park was opened to the public. The road system in the cemetery is very well-organised. There is a ring- road for cars. Characteristic features of the cemetery are the round and equally sized grave sites on grass. Trees alongside each site give one the illusion of individual small cemeteries within the park. The design of the park divides the public spaces from the ones belonging to the cemetery.
CEMETERY CHAPEL BUILDINGS The cemetery of Öjendorf has three cemetery chapel buildings. These halls are connected via the so-called "Flower Street", where the floral decoration can be delivered for the funerals. Hall number 2 is still in its original condition and can also be used for filming. The access to the hall leads past a waiting room. The waiting rooms are equipped with a dark slate floor, photographs on the walls, tables and chairs. The alley to the hall is panelled in wood. The incident daylight is refracted by the large, bright and coloured windows. Inside there are simple benches in rows, a gallery and a coffin lift. Shooting is possible. The buildings can be used for shooting according to prior agreement.
