Synopsis: The Film BODENERHEBUNGEN focusses on recent changes in the district of Altona, in Hamburg / Germany. On former railway-owned grounds the “New Heart of Altona” is being built with a public park that will integrate several older landmark buildings – not, however, their previous residents coming from crafts, art and music. Developmental speculation projects and architectural visualizations collide with the critical voices of local residents. Analysis of pollutants in the soil clash with political and business interests. The image of the territory itself oscillates under the impression of these different voices.
