Neighboring districts

Structure of the district
Together with the neighboring district of Kleiner Grasbrook , Steinwerder forms the eastern part of the Port of Hamburg . Steinwerder was almost completely declared as a free port until December 31, 2012 . The district consists of port, industrial and commercial areas. There are no residential areas here.
history
The Elbe island Steinwerder, formerly Nordersand , was diked in the Middle Ages and could therefore be managed. Through the Gottorper Treaty , the island came to Hamburg in 1768 together with the leasehold farms Grevenhof , Ellerholz and Roß . The name Steinwerder came into being in the vernacular after the Great Fire of 1842, when the area towards the river and the Reiherstieg was increased with the city's rubble. The part of the name Werder describes the river island. Then the first shipyards were built here. The first dry and floating docks on Hamburg's territory were built there in the 1850s . On December 1, 1862, with the participation of well-known shipowners, u. a. Ferdinand Laeisz and Robert Miles Sloman (the younger) founded the Hamburg seaman's school, which was located in Steinwerder until 1889 and then relocated to Hamburg-Waltershof due to the port expansion . After the settlement had been elevated to a suburb in 1871, Steinwerder was incorporated into Hamburg as a district in 1894, and in 1902 the previously popular name Steinwerder was officially adopted.
At the turn of the 20th century, the Kuhwerder Hafen , the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Hafen , the Ellerholzhafen , the Oderhafen , the Travehafen and the Roßhafen were built as part of the port expansion . Individual basins, such as the Kaiser Wilhelm Harbor, have already been partially filled in again. Due to the Köhlbrand contract of 1908, the Köhlbrand , which connects the North and South Elbe, was relocated 600 meters to the west. The old course can still be seen today from the location of the coal ship port .
politics
For the election to the citizenry , Steinwerder belongs to the constituency Billstedt-Wilhelmsburg-Finkenwerder , results are summarized with Kleiner Grasbrook .
Culture and sights
theatre
On the site of the former Stülcken shipyard between the Norderelbe and Guanofleet , a private musical theater was built in the early 1990s , in which the musical The Lion King is currently being performed. In 2014, the opening of another theater led by Stage Entertainment followed : The Stage Theater on the Elbe . The first production in the house was " Das Wunder von Bern ".
Buildings
In addition to the Old Elbe Tunnel and the Köhlbrand Bridge, the old Blohm + Voss administration building , which was built in 1908, is particularly worth seeing. With its massive appearance, which was clearly visible at the time, it was intended to symbolize the size and importance of the shipyard at the beginning of the 20th century. Due to the approaching development on the outside and the modernization by the architects Schramm, Pempelfort and von Bassewitz , who z. B. the continuous atria inside fell victim, but the building lost some of its imposing appearance.
Economy and Infrastructure
The Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) is planning the Central Terminal Steinwerder (CTS) in the center of the Port of Hamburg . Here the restructuring of a 125 hectare area is planned. In the summer of 2009, a market research process started in which the conceptual concepts and ideas of a broad and international group of interested parties were called up.
