The district of Hamburg-Nord ( Hamborg-Noord in Low German ) is one of seven districts of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg .

geography

overview

The Hamburg-Nord district is located at 10 degrees east longitude on both sides of the Alster . It extends 14 km from north to south and a good 8 km from west to east and includes the northeastern part of the Outer Alster . In the north, the district borders on Schleswig-Holstein , in the south on the Hamburg-Mitte district , in the west on the Eimsbüttel district and in the east on the Wandsbek district .

Large areas of the 58 km² district are not inhabited, but are used for infrastructure and local recreation. These include the Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel airport (approx. 5 km²), the Ohlsdorf cemetery (approx. 4 km²), the Hamburg City Park (approx. 2 km²) and the Eppendorfer Moor nature reserve as well as many allotment gardens and, of course, the Alster.

Administrative division

The district is divided into 13 districts:

Eppendorf , Hoheluft-Ost and Winterhude form the densely populated core area (Regional Committee Eppendorf-Winterhude),
Uhlenhorst , Hohenfelde , Barmbek-Nord , Barmbek-Süd and Dulsberg are the city districts to the east of the Alster (Regional Committee Barmbek-Uhlenhorst-Hohenfelde-Dulsberg),
Groß Borstel , Alsterdorf , Ohlsdorf , Fuhlsbüttel and Langenhorn form the sparsely populated north on the outskirts of Hamburg (Regional Committee Langenhorn-Fuhlsbüttel-Ohlsdorf-Alsterdorf-Groß Borstel).

The districts are further subdivided into one to six, a total of 32 districts. The former local offices of Barmbek-Uhlenhorst and Fuhlsbüttel were dissolved as part of the Hamburg district administration reform in 2006, and the local committees of the district assembly became the three above-mentioned fifteen-member regional committees. In the district office, three regional officers coordinate administrative activities in the regional areas.

The district office ( ⊙ ) is located in an administration building by Paul Seitz in the Eppendorf district (Kümmellstraße 5). The building was erected in 1953/1959 and is a listed building. In February 2014, the site including the development was sold to the Rendsburg construction company Richard Ditting GmbH. 53.5901432 9.9841734
