The Billerhuder Insel is an artificially created island in Hamburg - Rothenburgsort , which lies between a bend in the river Bille and the Bullenhuser Canal , which shortens the bend in the river .
The 38 hectare island in the shape of a triangle was created in 1907 when the Bullenhuser Canal was built. Along the canal, it is around 1000 meters long and up to 520 meters wide. It consists of river sand soil washed up by suction dredgers and is almost entirely taken up by the allotment garden association 114 "Gartenkolonie Billerhude".
Coming from the south, the Ausschläger Billdeich road leads across the island to the Brown Bridge, the connection to Hamm . The island can be reached by public transport via a bus line with a stop on the island . Otherwise, a network of small asphalt paths, the longer ones in the form of one-way streets, opens up the entire island.
According to the development plan from 1957, a large part of the island is designated as reserve areas for industry. Since then there have been some suggestions to use the island for other purposes. In 1981, Building Senator Volker Lange (SPD) planned to build 1000 apartments instead of the previously inhabited allotment gardens. In response to the concept "Upstream on the Elbe and Bille" presented by the Hamburg Senate in 2014 for urban development in the east of Hamburg, the Chamber of Commerce suggested using Billerhuder Insel for commercial and residential construction, but this was rejected by politicians in order to close the allotment gardens receive.
