geography

history

Until the 19th century, the Hasselbrook was a swampy swamp forest area (Low German: Brook), which originally belonged entirely to Hamm as Allmendeland . When the railway line between Hamburg and Lübeck was built in 1864 , part of the route ran right through Hasselbrook. In the course of this construction, the development and settlement of the area north of it also took place. Since the railway line offered itself as a border between Hamm and Eilbek, this northern part of Hasselbrook was added to Eilbek in 1874. The southern part that remained near Hamm was not built on until the 1910s. During the Second World War, the Hasselbrook suffered severe damage in 1943 by Allied air raids ( Operation Gomorrah ). After the war, the area was rebuilt mainly with brick buildings in a row construction, which still shape the face of both parts of the city today.
