The Brandshof lock between Hamburg-Rothenburgsort and Hamburg-Hammerbrook connects the Bille with the Oberhafenkanal and thus with the Elbe . The first lock structure at this point was built in 1625–1626 and named after the court of Hamburg's mayor Johann Brand (1585–1652), which was located here at the time . The Brandshofer lock replaced the Bullenhuser locks located further up the bill (e.g. at today's Green Bridge), which were built around 1485 and destroyed during the carnival flood in 1625 .
