The HAMMERBROOKLYNproject could have been a child's dream. Were it not for the prospect three decades later, the etymology of the word Hammerbrooklyn to be discovered in the urban living space. Myths have their origin - so does that myth of HAMMERBROOKLYN, which began a quarter of a century ago in Hamburg - then still no man's land - Hammerbrook. In order to keep a narrative ultimately understandable, it follows certain patterns and thus illustrates the same stereotypes over and over again: Stereotypes that were actually broken up and left behind in this context.
