What is the history of Lurup?
Lurup grew from village fields into a built quarter of Hamburg. The old parish life left the Auferstehungskirche and the Emmauskirche among its streets, and the ground once lay open toward Osdorf before the housing of the Altona district reached across it. The fields gave way.
That change shaped Lurup.
