geography
Rivers and streams
Historically, there was the Flottbek (probably originally Vlothbeke) (headwaters north of the road Quellental in Westerpark ) that Teufelsbek (the name of the ship investor Teufelsbrück responsible on the Elbe, the headwaters of the Baur road at Othmarschen Park ) and the Röbbek in the streets Röbbek and Seestraße ( headwaters at Groß-Flottbeker Markt). The Röbbek is only preserved by the street name. The original streambed dried up, was backfilled and is only detectable in a few places due to slight subsidence. Flottbek and Teufelsbek are also largely dried out (also due to changes in the groundwater during the construction of the Elbe tunnel), some of them also piped. A section of the Teufelsbek trench has been preserved in Walderseestrasse between Reventlowstrasse and the A7 junction. The course of the Teufelsbek and the Flottbek in Jenischpark can also be seen; both streams drain into the Elbe.

history
Othmarschen was first mentioned in a document in 1317 as Villa Othmerschen . The name is a compound, the basic word of which is mnd. Plural merschen for hd. "Marshes", "swamp lands" is. The final word could be interpreted as “barren”, “uninhabited”. Although there is no evidence for the origin of a personal name, in particular the existence of a hermit named Otmar cannot be proven, and it has long been considered disproved that the place name used to be Otmarsheim or Otmarshusen , corresponding (false) Interpretations.
In the Middle Ages it was a farming village with a few farms and belonged to the Hamburg St. Petri community. It was not until 1547/1548 that the new Ottensen parish was built with the construction of a church in Ottens. In 1759 the thatched Röperhof was built by the Röper family on today's Agathe-Lasch-Weg . Together with the Schmidtschen Hof located next to it, it is the last remaining part of the historic Othmarsch village center. Around the same time, the first country houses of wealthy merchants were built on today's Elbchaussee . Othmarschen was a small suburb until the 19th century. Together with Övelgönne it had only 362 inhabitants in 1855. In 1867 Othmarschen came to the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein . In 1882 the first stop was built on the Altona-Blankenese suburban railway line, namely the Groß-Flottbek-Othmarschen stop on demand . In 1883, the manufacturer Ferdinand Ancker and other partners founded the Terrain Consortium , which implemented the Neu-Othmarschen villa complex , a garden city for the wealthy in the community of Groß Flottbek. In 1890 Othmarschen fell to Altona together with Bahrenfeld and Övelgönne. Othmarschen has been connected to the S-Bahn network since 1897 ; the stop on demand was now a regular S-Bahn stop, for a long time as the Großflottbek-Othmarschen stop , now as Othmarschen . In 1893 a horse-drawn tram was set up in the village. In 1899 a tram led to Altona, the following year the construction of the Christ Church on Roosensweg was finished. Due to the Greater Hamburg Law , Othmarschen came to Hamburg together with Altona in 1937/1938. In 1939, Othmarschen received the eastern part of Klein Flottbek, the southernmost part of Groß Flottbek and the south-western part of Bahrenfeld. With effect from May 11, 1951, the District Administration Act in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg (1949) divided the then Flottbek-Othmarschen district and the Othmarschen district emerged. The 1960s and 1970s changed the old Othmarschen considerably: the historic village center had to give way to the construction of the federal motorway 7 and the Elbe tunnel that began in Othmarschen .
