SOPHIE

There are houses that have an address.
And there are houses that become an address.

Sophie is the house on Harvestehuder Stieg, secluded and naturally embedded in one of the most beautiful residential estates in Hamburg. The urban keystone of the exclusive Sophienterrassen quarter also closes the circle to its name. On the one hand, the name SOPHIE goes back to the Greek word for wisdom (σοφία). On the other hand, it refers to Sophie Reimers (1826–1918). Her husband, Consul Julius Reimers, had the “Villa Sophia” built in her honour on a huge plot of land between Mittelweg and Harvestehuder Weg.
SOPHIE is stylistically elegant and timeless in its classic lines. Its noble restraint is not a pose, however, but springs from a Hanseatic sensibility. Here, the architect Mirjana Markovic created her last work, a tribute to this location – with a fine eye for small details and the courage to use a clear design language. Or, quite simply, in the words of Goethe’s Faust: “the last word in wisdom”.

On the Alster, between Mittelweg and Harvestehuder Weg, lies the exclusive Sophienterrassen urban quarter developed by FRANKONIA Eurobau. With different building forms and architectural styles – the Alster villas, park villas and townhouses, the residences in the Sophienpalais and, finally, SOPHIE – this varied ensemble reinterprets the Harvestehude way of life and continues Hanseatic traditions in a contemporary way. Thanks to its sensitive design and its park with old trees, it seems to have grown naturally and to be deeply rooted in a place regarded as the most beautiful in Hamburg.

In the end, it is always the quality of life that determines the value of a property. Part of this is not having to deal with every question yourself as an owner. FRANKONIA Eurobau therefore offers services around home ownership at SOPHIE that require special expertise and decades of experience. They go far beyond the purchase, make everyday life easier for residents and preserve the value of the building over the years.
