The Kiebitzbrack is a 3.7 hectare brackish in the Vierlanden in Hamburg at the eastern origin of the Gose Elbe . It lies on the border between the Kirchwerder and Neuengamme districts in the Kiebitzbrack nature reserve . The name for the water is the lapwing , or the house on the western edge, which was called lapwing in old maps. Also known as the Elbe dam in the 18th century.
The approximately 390 m long and a maximum of 290 m wide and up to 8 meters deep body of water was probably formed around the 17th century. Nowadays it is the origin of the Gose Elbe trench, which continues as the Gose Elbe and flows into the Dove Elbe at the nature reserve Die Reit in Reitbrook .
