Rotherbaum is a quarter of
Eimsbüttel, a borough of
Hamburg. In 2016 the population was 16,456. In German, “roter Baum” means red tree. The “th”, which in general was abolished in the spelling reform of 1900, was preserved in names. Depending on grammatical context, it might also be spelled with n as Rothenbaum. The campuses of the
University of Hamburg and the
University of Music and Drama of Hamburg are located in Rotherbaum. Directly at the artificial
Außenalster lake is the
Consulate General of the United States.
