Concept and history

Elbe suburb

Location of the Elbe suburbs

There is no official definition or definition of the term Elbe suburb - in contrast to the term forest villages , for example . Rather, the term has established itself in common parlance. Geographically, those locations are meant that have access to the Elbe to the west of the city of Hamburg.

Historically, the Elbe suburbs initially belonged to the Pinneberg / Land Holstein district , from 1927 to the city of Altona under the Groß-Altona Act (whereby Othmarschen fell to Altona as early as 1890) and finally to Hamburg from 1938 due to the Groß-Hamburg-Gesetz passed in 1937.

All Elbe suburbs have in common that they are located directly on the banks of the Elbe or were due to changes in the area or renaming. This is obvious for the districts of Othmarschen, Nienstedten, Blankenese and Rissen. However, it also applies in particular to the Iserbrook district, which has only existed since 1951 and whose area previously belonged to the territory of the Elbe suburb of Blankenese or Dockenhuden. The Altona district of Klein Flottbek was also one of the Elbe suburbs. However, it fell victim to the territorial changes of 1937/1938 and was essentially assigned to the districts of Othmarschen and Nienstedten. The villa district Hochkamp is also part of the Elbe suburbs. It is not directly on the Elbe, but territorially it is also part of the Elbe suburb of Nienstedten. A large part of Hochkamp is in the Osdorf district , which is not, however, a suburb of the Elbe. Also Sülldorf and Gross Flottbek are no Elbvororte. Contrary to what the names suggest, Groß Flottbek and Klein Flottbek were never a unit, but rather two different, independent areas and villages since at least 1305. Due to the local proximity and the partly similar building structure, however, Sülldorf and Groß Flottbek are also sometimes referred to as Elbe suburbs. In this respect, there is sometimes no clear delimitation.

On site

The common term suburb is literally to be understood as a place in front of the city of Hamburg. The legal designation suburb , on the other hand, was based on the rural community code that came into force in 1871 and related to the 15 places around the center of Hamburg and belonging to the city of Hamburg. The purpose of the legal term was to withdraw the cited places from the previous rural area due to their urbanization and to place them under direct municipal administration. However, this did not apply to the Elbe suburbs, since at that time they were still part of the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein , not Hamburg.
