At the initiative of the Altona district assembly, the former Sylvesterallee near the Volksparkstadion was renamed in honor of the HSV legend two years after his death. As honorary captain of the national team and an honorary citizen of Hamburg, Uwe Seeler was a role model for many people, both in terms of his sporting achievements and his character. Uwe Seeler was born in Hamburg on November 5, 1936. He died on July 21, 2022. Many Hamburg residents knew him as "the greatest HSV player of all time," having scored 404 goals in 476 appearances for his club and becoming the first Bundesliga top scorer in the 1963/64 season. With the national team, Uwe Seeler became World Cup runner-up in 1966, scoring 43 goals in 72 appearances for the German national team. In addition to his sporting successes, Uwe Seeler was committed to civic engagement. In 1996, he founded the Uwe Seeler Foundation, which supports people in need. In 1970, he became the first German athlete to be awarded the Federal Cross of Merit. On his 50th birthday in 1986, the Senate established the Uwe Seeler Prize to promote youth development in football clubs, which has been awarded close to his birthday ever since. In 2003, Uwe Seeler was granted honorary citizenship of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.

Altona Main Cemetery, at 63 hectares, is the largest cemetery in the Altona district and was opened on November 1, 1923. The then Director of Horticulture, Ferdinand Tutenberg, based its design on the principles of cemetery reform. This reform followed the guiding principle that people should be buried side by side regardless of their social standing, education, or religious affiliation. This was of particular importance in the working-class city of Altona at the time. The main entrance to the cemetery offers a view of cherry trees in full pink blossom. In addition to the burial plots, generous open spaces and the beautiful trees create the impression of a park-like setting. This green oasis with its natural niches also provides a valuable habitat for insects and other animals in the heart of the city. The Japanese flowering cherry avenue, in particular, with its full bloom in spring, invites visitors to stroll through the cemetery grounds. The Altona Main Cemetery serves as a burial ground for people of all faiths. There are different types of graves available for urn or earth burials, tree burials, and Islamic graves, as well as grave sites in sunny locations. These can be selected and purchased while still alive.

This highlight is located on an ADFC (German Cyclists' Federation) tour I led this summer. We took a break at Bridge 10 on this tour. https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2398977223

The Altona main cemetery is the largest cemetery in the Altona district at 63 hectares and was opened on November 1st, 1923. The then director of gardening, Ferdinand Tutenberg, based the planning on the ideas of the cemetery reform. This followed the guiding principle that people should be buried next to each other regardless of their social status, education or religious affiliation. This was of particular interest in the working-class town of Altona at the time. In addition to the pure occupancy areas, generous open spaces and the beautiful tree population create the impression of a park-like structure. The green oasis with its natural niches also offers insects and other animals a valuable habitat in the middle of the city. The Japanese ornamental cherry avenue in particular, with its full bloom in spring, invites you to take a stroll through the cemetery grounds. https://www.hamburg.de/politik-und-verwaltung/bezirke/altona/themen/umwelt-natur-klimaschutz/hauptfriedhof-altona-52944

The aesthetic highlight of the school garden was a pavilion designed by building senator Gustav Oelsner, which stood in the center of geometric flower beds.
