ELBEHAUS (HAMBURG)
The Toepfer Foundation's Elbehaus was reopened at the beginning of 2023 after a lengthy renovation phase. The house on Elbchaussee is now being used as part of a residential scholarship that allows up to three scholarship holders to spend between two and six months studying at the same time.© Jakob Boerner
The translator will be provided with a private, furnished accommodation unit in the Elbehaus. The common rooms of the house can be used communally during the stay or individually by arrangement. In addition to the opportunity for undisturbed work and activity, the communal living together of the scholarship holders is intended to promote interdisciplinary exchange, dialogue and encounters.
We offer an eight-week stay at the Elbehaus from 1 May to 30 June 2024.
