Eppendorf is a west of the Alster situated district of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg . It belongs to the core area of the Hamburg-Nord district and is the seat of the district office of the same name .
geography
Eppendorf lies west of the lower course of the Alster until shortly before the confluence of the Isebek Canal , which marks the southern border to the Harvestehude district here . The Alster also forms the border to the Winterhude district to the east . Eppendorf borders the Hoheluft-Ost district to the south - west, and Lokstedt to the west . In the north, the freight bypass line forms the border with the districts of Groß-Borstel and Alsterdorf . This is also where the Tarpenbek river flows into the Mühlenteich and further into the Alster. The mill pond also serves as winter quarters for the Alster swans .
history
Origin of name
Eppendorf, first mentioned in 1140 as Eppenthorp , is Hamburg's oldest village. The origin of the name is uncertain and could come from a village founder named Ebo, Ebbo or Eppo. Possibly also from the Archbishop Ebo of Reims , who from 823 to 826 traveled several times on mission trips north of the Elbe . However, the remains of an older round tower made of uncut field stones, which were found during the renovation of the St John's Church , first mentioned in 1267, point to an early Christianization . An origin from the old Germanic “epen” for “located on the water” is also possible.
13th to 16th centuries
Located on the Heilwigstraße directly on the Alster since 1914 called the Monastery of St. John , the successor to the 1530 to the convent converted Herwardeshuder Cistercian monastery , which in 1247 by Heilwig from the lip , wife of Schauenburger Count Adolf IV. Had been established. Eppendorf belonged to the county of Holstein-Stormarn , which had been ruled by the Counts of Schauenburg since 1227. Previously it had been under Danish rule since 1214, but this ended after the battle of Bornhöved , which was victorious for Adolf IV . Count Adolf's descendants sold the village of Eppendorf in 1343 to the Herwardeshude monastery, which in 1295 was moved from the mouth of the Pepermöhlenbek into the Elbe to the Alster north of Hamburg.
When the monastery was dissolved and demolished after the Reformation, the council, which had become Lutheran, founded the “Protestant Foundation St. Johannis Monastery” in 1530, to which the monastery properties - and thus Eppendorf as well - were transferred. The village remained in the possession of the foundation for three centuries before it came directly into Hamburg administration in 1832 - like the entire foundation. With five full-hoofed, 12 half-hoofed and 17 brink-seaters, it was one of the larger villages in the Hamburg area at the time. The farmers (Hufner and Halbhufner) and craftsmen (Brinksitzer) mainly settled in the triangle between the Eppendorfer market square, today's Schrammsweg and the St. Johannis Church. In addition, there were country houses of wealthy Hamburg citizens who were up the Alster.
17th to 20th century
During the time it was part of the monastery foundation, Eppendorf was repeatedly the scene of armed conflicts and the subject of occupations. During the Thirty Years' War , Swedish and Danish troops took quarters until they were expelled in 1627 by the Imperial Catholic Field Marshal Johann t'Serclaes von Tilly . In 1712 and 1762, Danish troops occupied Eppendorf, as Denmark continued to claim that Hamburg and its possessions were part of the Duchy of Holstein , which it ruled . Denmark only gave up these claims with the Gottorp Treaty of 1768. Napoleonic troops then occupied Eppendorf in 1806 and incorporated it into the French Empire as part of the Département des Bouches de l'Elbe . Under Marshal Louis-Nicolas Davout , a large part of the village was burned down in 1813 to give the French a clear field of fire at the gates of Hamburg, but just a year later Russian troops succeeded in liberating Hamburg - and thus Eppendorf as well. In order to revive Eppendorf's economic life, a "stuff and cattle market" was introduced. The so-called Eppendorfer Markt developed into a great summer pleasure, but was closed again in 1894. In 1835 the first country carriage drove at regular intervals between Jungfernstieg and Eppendorf, in 1840 a horse-drawn bus line was set up and in 1859 the first Alster steamer drove to the Winterhuder Fährhaus.
In the 19th century, Eppendorf became a popular suburb for wealthy Hamburg citizens who built their country homes there. In the period that followed, the low-lying, very humid land was heaped up and built on. Of the original pasture and moorland, only the Eppendorfer Moor on the Tarpenbek has been preserved, which has been under nature protection since 1982. In 1875 the Eppendorfer Bürgererverein (EBV) was founded, which still exists today and publishes the district magazine Der Eppendorfer . In 1879, when the Hamburg hospitals could no longer accept the many sick people who often suffered from epidemics such as cholera , construction began on a modern hospital on a vacant site on the outskirts of Eppendorf, today's Hamburg-Eppendorf University Medical Center . When the sick were housed in individual pavilions instead of the large halls of earlier hospitals, new knowledge of preventing infection was applied.
In 1894, Eppendorf, which had received suburb status in 1871, was incorporated into the city of Hamburg as a district. Many of the buildings still preserved today date from the period between the incorporation in 1894 and the beginning of the First World War . Most of the relics of the village development disappeared, including the last windmill on site, which was torn down in 1904, and the last thatched-roof house in Ludolfstrasse, which was demolished in the 1960s. Garden houses on fallow land as well as country houses with large gardens had to give way to multi-storey houses and typical big city buildings. One of the few houses from around 1800 is the Brahmskeller on the corner of Heilwigstrasse and Ludolfstrasse. The General Hospital (today Hamburg-Eppendorf University Medical Center ) was completed in 1889, and in 1914 the Holthusenbad and the Kellinghusenstraße - Ohlsdorf underground line were opened, which around 15 years later continued to Stephansplatz and Jungfernstieg . Eppendorf survived the Second World War largely unscathed.

Culture and sights
Churches
- St. Johannis : is located directly on the Alster and the bridge to Winterhude .

Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
With the Kellinghusenstraße underground station, Eppendorf has a junction in the Hamburg underground network. Lines U1 and U3 converge here in a synchronized manner. The Eppendorfer Baum underground station, on the other hand, is not in the Eppendorf district, but on the other side of the Isebek Canal ( Harvestehude district ). The Sierichstraße , Hudtwalckerstraße and Lattenkamp stops are also nearby ( Winterhude district ).
The west of Eppendorf (west of the B 433) is more than 10 minutes' walk from the train stations and is therefore mainly served by buses in local public transport. The Eppendorfer Marktplatz is frequented by six bus and two night bus routes.
Several streets heavily used by car traffic cross Eppendorf, including Ring 2 with federal highways 5 and 433 .
Since the end of 1946 there has been a regular service of the Alsterdampfer between Jungfernstieg and Winterhuder Fährhaus with six stops.
Public facilities
The Eppendorf University Clinic (UKE) is one of the old, large clinics in Hamburg and was founded in 1884. It is now one of the most famous and modern hospitals in the country, and has also been a university hospital since 1934.
The Hamburg-Nord district office is also based here and has been steadily expanded in recent years. During this phase, the customer center for public affairs moved into the former building of a public book hall, which is located right next to the district office. In 2009 a new building was also inaugurated on the former Karstadt site.
