The Poorhouse

image author: Verlag Temmen

Halstenbek, Königstraße 24. Here stands the 'poorhouse'. It has that name because poor people, the destitute, homeless as well as the old and invalids were 'admitted' here in the past. But only for 33 years, from construction of the building in 1843, to its sale to a private person in 1876. The 'poorhouse' is a cultural monument.
