The foundation document of the center The Hamburg center originates back to 1972, when changing groups established themselves after a lecture from Lama Ole Nydahl. In 1974, the 16th Karmapa visited Hamburg for the first time. Four years later, he founded the center officially under the name "Karma Drub Gjy Ling" - translated: The place of the transmission lineage of practice.

1985, the Buddhist living community had grown to 18 people, living in two flats in the University area. Moving into a house in 1987, the group running the center had grown to 22 people. In 1990, the non-profit organization was founded with 9 members (now 12) and approx. 400 members today.

The 16th Karmapa wrote: "May this Karma Drub Gjy Ling spread the Buddhist teachings into all 10 directions in Germany"."
