About Damperhof
What are the main landmarks in Damperhof?
Lutherkirche and Jacobi Church give the district two churches within a few streets of each other, and the Sparkasse Lorentzendamm puts a third listed building on the street that carries its name. That is the whole register. For opera, galleries or the town hall, Vorstadt and Altstadt lie a few minutes off, which is close enough that Damperhof rarely needs sights of its own.
What is the history of Damperhof?
Lutherkirche and Jacobi Church record the congregations that took root in Damperhof, and the Sparkasse Lorentzendamm marks the street where the district's business address settled. Paperwork does not fix a year. Kiel set the boundary tight, leaving Damperhof under half a square kilometre between Altstadt and Brunswik in Schleswig-Holstein.
Where is Damperhof?
Damperhof measures under half a square kilometre, pressed in by Altstadt, Vorstadt, Brunswik and Schreventeich.
