Not quite as well-maintained as the Niendorf game reserve, but always beautiful.

In the middle of the Niendorf enclosure there is a large fallow deer park. Around 30 deer and stags live here. The animals can be observed particularly well from the observation platform. Sometimes they even come very close. The enclosure has been generously expanded so that the animals have more peace and quiet during the rutting season and during breeding. Very important: Please do not feed them! This harms the wild animals.

The Mutzenbecher Villa in Niendorfer Gehege stood empty for a long time and was in danger of falling into disrepair. Thanks to the commitment of many Hamburg residents, the brick building was able to be preserved. The summer house of insurance director Hermann Mutzenbecher, built around 1900, has been extensively restored in recent years and now serves as an educational and meeting place. Schoolchildren, craftsmen and students are breathing new life into the listed building.
