The twelve Grindel high-rise buildings were erected between 1946 and 1956 on the site of the war-ravaged Jewish Grindel quarter in the Hamburg-Harvestehude district and are nestled within the Grindelberg park.

The area between the high-rises is reserved exclusively for the park, which includes two children's playgrounds.

When the Grindel high-rises were listed as historical monuments in 1979, this protection encompassed not only the twelve high-rises, the laundry, and the gas station, but also the surrounding green space. The park covers an area of 10 hectares.

The Grindelhochhäuser are a listed ensemble of twelve high-rise buildings that were built in the Eimsbüttel district of Hamburg after the Second World War. They were built between 1946 and 1956 in the Jewish Grindel quarter in the Hamburg-Harvestehude district, which was destroyed by the war, between the streets Grindelberg, Hallerstraße, Brahmsallee and Oberstraße. They are the first high-rise residential buildings in Germany after 1945.
