About this allotment
The Gartenverein Broockkamp e. V. (KGV 307) is an allotment garden club in Hamburg-Niendorf, set between Fuhlsbütteler Weg, Engernweg and Broockkampsweg, and a member of the Landesbund der Gartenfreunde in Hamburg, the city's allotment association. The site dates back to 1931, when a Niendorf farmer leased out land with very poor soil, until then used by riders as a practice ground, as allotment gardens. Many of the first tenants were unemployed people who grew vegetables and potatoes here. It was soon mockingly called the “Erwerbslosenkoppel” (paddock of the unemployed), while others thought “Drahtwurmkoppel” fit better: every spadeful turned up 20 to 30 wireworms. After 1945 many Hamburg residents made a permanent home here because of the housing shortage, and the city gave the club adjoining land that became today’s lanes Weg 4 and Weg 5. The clubhouse is the venue for festivities and office hours; in 2021 members began renovating it with their own hands. Free plots are scarce. The club’s website says whether the waiting list is currently open.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get an allotment garden in Hamburg?
Plots are handed out by the club itself, not by the city and not by us. The usual route: contact the club, ask to be put on the waiting list, and apply to several sites at the same time. How long it takes depends heavily on the region, from a few weeks in rural areas to several years in sought-after city locations. You will find contact details for KGV 307 Gartenverein Broockkamp on the club website, if one is on file.
What does a plot cost?
Rent is capped by law and comes to roughly 0.15 to 0.40 euros per square metre per year, depending on the federal state, Hamburg included. On top of that come club fees, water, electricity and levies, together around 330 euros a year for a 300 m² plot. When you move in you pay the previous tenant a one-off transfer fee for the hut and the planting. Each club sets the exact amounts itself.
What do I have to grow in an allotment garden?
The German Federal Allotment Garden Act requires horticultural use. The rule of thumb is the thirds rule: roughly one third of the area for fruit and vegetables, one third for recreation, one third for paths and the hut. A purely ornamental or lawn garden is not permitted. You may not live in the hut permanently.
