The Billwerder Ausschlag (formerly also: Billwärder Ausschlag ) is a river island in the Lower Elbe in Hamburg . It is located south of Billerhuder Island and is separated from it by the 50 meter wide Bullenhuser Canal. The southern limit is the Billwerder Bay , and the eastern limit is the Tiefstack Canal . The island is in turn divided by the Bille Canal into a narrow and long north-eastern part and the main south-western part. In the southwest is the residential area of the Rothenburgsort district . The eastern part of the island is part of Hamburg's second largest industrial area, the Billbrook / Rothenburgsort industrial area. Its main part is on the area of the Billbrook district , but in terms of urban planning it is viewed as a unit despite the district boundary running through it.
The island is 3.1 km long from northwest to southeast, and a maximum of 1.7 km wide in the western area. The area covers around 4.5 km².
From 1894 to 1970 there was a separate district of this name, which, however, comprised over 84 percent (644.0 of 762.3 hectares) and 58 percent (6891 of 11857) of the current district of Rothenburgsort in terms of inhabitants (as of January 1, 1969) and also extended beyond the area of the island: among other things, it included the Billerhuder Island, the Kaltehofe Island in the south and, further south, the Billwerder Island west of the Moorfleet . The district was merged with the Rothenburgsort district in 1970 and continued under the latter name.
Originally, the Billwerder rash was the northwestern part of the island of Billwerder . The addition to the name Ausschlag referred to the location outside the diked area.
