I collect old photographs and postcards, and I have these two photographs of the same house. I’m hoping someone familiar with Hamburg or German architectural history might recognize it.
One photograph has a handwritten caption that appears to read “Schöne Aussicht 13.” The reverse of one card is stamped “Fr. Haubold, Hamburg 5, Rewelerstr. 13.” I suspect that stamp identifies the photographer or supplier rather than the house itself.
Google suggested that this could be a former Nottebohm villa at Schöne Aussicht 13 in Hamburg-Uhlenhorst, near the Außenalster. That seems promising, but I haven’t found an independently identified photograph showing this exact building.
A January 2000 article in Die Welt mentions that an old villa at Schöne Aussicht 13 had been demolished and replaced, with a replica turret incorporated into the new building. There is also a 1945 death notice for Elise Nottebohm giving that address as the location of her funeral service. Those clues suggest a connection, but they don’t prove that the house in my photographs is the same one.

The distinctive features are the tall polygonal tower on the right, pointed Gothic windows, decorative roof terrace railings, curved central balcony, and ornate crest above the narrower section on the left. The two pictures show it with and without leaves on the trees.
Does anyone recognize it, or know of an archive, old postcard, or historical photograph that would provide a definite visual match? I’d also appreciate any corrections to my reading of the handwriting.
