Ditmar-Koel-Straße
20459 Hamburg
The Portugiesenviertel (portuguese district) is located in the heart of the city, just between the Landungsbrücken and the Michel. The district got its name in the early sixties during a wave of immigration by Portuguese Harbour Workers which settled down in this area. Nowadays a lot of Portuguese restaurants, cafés and pastelarias are located in the district, especially the main street "Ditmar-Koel-Straße" is a popular place to go for tourists, but also a lot of employees working near to the district are coming here for lunch. In the last years the Portugiesenviertel became more and more a place-to-be and even if there aren't so many Portuguese living anymore, this place still feels like "Little Portugal" and has a special Mediterranean atmosphere.
