Rothenburgsort is a district between the Norderelbe and the Bille in the Hamburg-Mitte district of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg .
geography
Structure of the district
Rothenburgsort is located in the area where the Bille flows into the Elbe. The current district is the westernmost branch of the Billwerder . The district can be divided into five functional sub-areas (listing from north to south):
- the Billerhuder Insel with various allotment gardens with an area of 38 hectares
- south of it, separated by the Bullenhuser Canal, an industrial and commercial area on the Billwerder rash
- various railway systems with the Rothenburgsort and Tiefstack S-Bahn stations
- the residential district of Rothenburgsort, which forms the core of the district
- a green corridor that extends from the Elbpark Entenwerder over the Elbe island Kaltehofe to the Elbe water filter plant in Moorfleet .
Neighboring districts
Rothenburgsort borders in the west on Hammerbrook , HafenCity , Veddel and Wilhelmsburg in the Hamburg-Mitte district , in the south on Spadenland and Tatenberg in the Bergedorf district , which also includes the Moorfleet to the east .
Also in the east, Billbrook borders on Rothenburgsort, which is part of Hamburg-Mitte like Hamm , which is adjacent to the north .
history
The majority of the area of today's district, the Billwerder Ausschlag , belonged to Hamburg since 1385 and was diked until 1494. The dike course at that time corresponds to the current course of the streets Billhorner Deich and Ausschläger Elbdeich .
The Rodenborg family had owned extensive estates on the ridge since the 17th century . In 1614, councilor Johann Rodenborg bought the site on which Trauns Park is located today , called Rodenborg's place by the residents of the time . The family died out in 1742. In 1625, the Bullenhuser lock, which was located near today's Green Bridge, was destroyed by a storm surge. In order to better protect the Billwerder rash, the Billhorn offshore to the west was then diked .
In 1871 the Billhorn was added to the Billwerder rash and the entire area was declared a suburb with around 7200 inhabitants. The lifting of the gate lock in 1860 had led to increased influx. In the west of the district mostly workers' apartments for dock workers were built, while the north and east became an industrial area. Initially, mostly terrace houses were built, with all the consequences that the unhealthy backyard development created. In the 1920s, the brick residential complexes followed, as planned by Fritz Schumacher for the entire settlement belt around the city center.
In 1875 the first local council was founded, the first sports and singing club was formed and the St. Thomas Church was built. In 1887 an electrified tram ran as line 21 from the water tower to the Deichtor. At the same time the new Elbe bridge was built. In 1894 Billwerder Ausschlag was elevated to a district and expanded to include the Kalte Hofe and Billwerder Insel , at that time it had around 40,000 inhabitants. In 1938, Rothenburgsort was split off from Billwerder Ausschlag and upgraded to an independent district.
The district was largely destroyed in the Allied bombing raids in July 1943. After the Second World War, it was initially planned to rededicate the area as an inland shipping port and industrial area. Although the construction ban was lifted for parts of the district as early as 1950, reconstruction only accelerated when the inland port plans were shelved in 1955.
The elementary school , which opened in 1910 and was built according to plans by Albert Erbe , on Bullenhuser Damm housed a satellite camp of Neuengamme concentration camp at the end of World War II . On April 20, 1945, 20 children interned there were murdered by the SS. Shortly afterwards, two orderlies, two doctors, and 24 Soviet prisoners of war were killed. The school was renamed the Janusz Korczak School in 1980 and teaching was discontinued in 1987. Today the school building is a memorial and is used as the kindergarten of the “Finkenau Foundation Kindergartens”. Another site of Nazi crimes was the former Rothenburgsort children's hospital .
In 1970 Rothenburgsort was reunited with the Billwerder rash to form one district.
With the concept of the city: Upstream on the Elbe and Bille - living and urban production in Hamburg Ost - Rothenburgsort is to move closer to the city. Long-term goals: to create new residential and urban qualities, to develop modern industrial and commercial structures, and to improve the quality of waterfront locations and green spaces and to connect them.
The district initiative "Hamburgs Wilder Osten" fears gentrification and calls for fair urban development with democratic responsibility. No special rights for landlords and investors!

Culture and sights
Buildings
The 64-meter-high tower on the site of the waterworks, which is the landmark of Rothenburgsort, is visible from afar. It was built in 1848 according to plans by Alexis de Chateauneuf and is now a listed building. As part of the central water supply in Hamburg ("Wasserkunst") designed by William Lindley , water from the river, which was taken from the Elbe via three settling basins, was fed into households as drinking water from the tower . He was - in contrast to z. B. to today's planetarium in the city park or to the Sternschanzenturm - no elevated water tank . Rather, the water was pumped into a riser pipe in the tower and from there it ran into the pipeline system. It was only after the unfiltered water caused the great cholera epidemic in Hamburg in 1892 that sand filters were installed on the island of Kaltehofe to purify the water. Lindley had already planned this, but initially it seemed too costly to the city.
The church of St. Erich on Billhorner Röhrendamm also shapes the cityscape . It was built between 1961 and 1963 and is the successor to the St. Josef Church on Bullenhuser Damm, which was destroyed in the war. The design for the modern church structure, which looks like a large fish from the outside, comes from Reinhard Hofbauer . The striking church tower is particularly noticeable on the S21 S-Bahn line between the Berliner Tor and Rothenburgsort stations .
West of Billhorner Brückenstraße is the Brandshof filling station , which was built in 1953 by Wilhelm Mastiaux and Ulrich Rummel for Deutsche Benzol-Vertrieb GmbH and has been included in the list of monuments of the city of Hamburg since January 18, 2010. The building is one of the last remaining petrol stations from the 1950s. Between August 2010 and September 2011 the facility was extensively renovated. Today it is used as a GTÜ test center and café specializing in vintage cars .
Natural monuments
The Bill Werder bay forms a freshwater Watt , which as alternative quarters for from the Mühlenberger hole displaced Löffelenten is used (while the teal the at Hahnöfersand tidal flats newly created assumes). The wooden harbor in the southern part of Billwerder Bay is under nature protection. The neighboring filter basins of the waterworks on Kaltehofe Island and Billwerder Island also offer resting and breeding opportunities for water birds such as the little grebe . All of this takes place against the imposing backdrop of the Tiefstack thermal power station , which is located in neighboring Billbrook .
Monuments
The “Memorial on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Hamburg firestorm in Rothenburgsort” is a project by Volker Lang . The proportions of the small building - on a reduced scale of 1: 2.5 - are based on a “ terrace house ”. This type of building was developed around 1880 for workers' quarters in Hamburg and shaped the character of the Rothenburgsort district until it was destroyed . Inside are fragments from accounts of people who witnessed the bombing and fragments from literary texts. The monument is open every first and third Sunday of the month from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Parks
The Elbpark Entenwerder , which was rebuilt and modernized in the 1990s, is available for the Rothenburgsorters to relax . It is located as a peninsula in the Elbe near the Elbe bridges and can be approached by car from the east and via a pedestrian bridge from the west. The park is about 16 hectares. The Entenwerder Fährhaus is a traditional excursion restaurant (since 1872) in the park. There is also Trauns Park (with a day-care center), which was laid out from 1923 to 1925 by the first Hamburg gardening director, Otto Linne , and the Hexenpark next to the FTSV Lorbeer football field.
The youngest of the Rothenburgsorter parks is located on the Elbe island Kaltehofe . The island created by the straightening of the Elbe in 1875 and 1879 housed a water filtration plant as well as a branch of the hygienic institute of the city of Hamburg. In 1990 it was abandoned and placed under nature protection. Since September 2011, parts of the facility have been open to the public again as a nature trail and park. In the former laboratory building and a newly built extension there is now a museum about Hamburg's water art and a café.
The former Hexenpark in Rothenburgsort was renamed in November 2011 after the Jewish doctor Carl Stamm (1867–1941) and is now called Carl-Stamm-Park .
Sports
The Sport Club Lorbeer from 1906 was one of the leading clubs in workers ' football until the workers' sports movement was banned by the National Socialists in 1933. In 1929 and 1931 he was able to win the national championship of the ATSB. The most famous players were Erwin Seeler , the father of Uwe Seeler and Alwin Springer . After the re-establishment in 1945, Lorbeer merged in 1946 with the Free Gymnastics and Sports Association Hammerbrook-Rothenburgsort from 1896 to form today's Free Gymnastics and Sports Association Lorbeer-Rothenburgsort from 1896. This was one of the pioneering clubs in women's football. The Lorbeer women were Hamburg champions four times (including the first title played in 1972) and played in the Oberliga Nord until 1994 . The other sports clubs in the district have dedicated themselves to water sports. These are the Biller Ruder Club from 1883 , the Bille rowing association from 1896 , the Biller water sports Schwalbe from 1892 , the Low German hiking paddlers and the Hansa sailing club . In the direct vicinity of the Elbe, the Golf Lounge Hamburg, the first inner-city driving range in Europe, has existed since 2005 , offering golfers the opportunity to improve their teeing technique protected from the weather.
Hanseatic Hall
From 1935 to 1943, the Hanseatenhalle stood in Rothenburgsort , at that time the largest sports hall in Europe with over 25,000 seats.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
Road traffic
At the western edge of the district, federal highways 4 (Amsinckstraße) and 75 (Heidenkampsweg) meet to continue as Billhorner Brückenstraße in a south-south-west direction. You cross the Oberhafen Canal on the Billhorner Bridge and the Norderelbe on the New Elbe Bridge, built in 1888 and expanded in 1960, towards Veddel.
The main street in Rothenburgsort's residential area is the Billhorner Röhrendamm - Vierländer Damm - Ausschläger Allee , which runs from the Brandshofer Schleuse in the west to the bridge over the Tiefstack Canal in the east. It crosses under the Billhorner Röhrendamm at a clover-leaf junction built around 1950 , which was celebrated as the most modern transport structure in Hamburg at the time. Since then , the Hamburg wholesale market was built on Banksstrasse , which was then an arterial road to the west of Hamburg's inner city, and a bollard structure at the transition between Vierländer Damm and Ausschläger Allee , through which only narrow vehicles can pass, this connection has only had local significance.
A piece of the federal motorway 1 runs through the southern end of the district , which as a southern bypass Hamburg crosses the northern Elbe on a suspension bridge in the direction of the Hamburg Süd motorway junction .
Rail transport
The Hamburg-Bergedorfer Railway has passed through Rothenburgsort since 1842 and was extended to Berlin as the Berlin-Hamburg Railway in 1846 . A large marshalling yard was built in Rothenburgsort and at the end of the 1870s the Hamburg-Rothenburgsort depot , which was closed in 1972. Since 1902 , the northern part of the Hamburg freight bypass line has ended at the marshalling yard, coming from Hamburg-Hamm , which was extended in the mid-1990s by a small bridge over the Oberhafen Canal to the Elbe bridges.
Also around 1900 the Prussian State Railways built a railway line on a dam that runs from the bridge over the Tiefstackkanal in the east of the district to the northwest in the direction of the Berliner Tor station . The Hamburg S-Bahn has been running on this route, where the Tiefstack and Rothenburgsort stops are located, since 1959 ; today with the lines S2 and S21 .
The Tiefstack marshalling yard of the Billwerder industrial railway extends north of the Tiefstack stop . From 1907 to 1952 there was also passenger traffic to Billbrook and on via the Südstormarnsche Kreisbahn to Trittau .
From 1915 to 1943, an above-ground branch of the Hamburg subway ended at Rothenburgsort station , which had another Brückenstraße stop at what is now the Heidenkampsweg-Billhorner Brückenstraße / Amsinckstraße intersection and which was not rebuilt after the destruction of the Second World War. The route can still be seen clearly on the back of the houses on Billstrasse , and a bridge abutment at Rothenburgsort station has also been preserved.
The northern bridgehead of the railway bridges over the Norderelbe and part of the connecting viaduct section of the S-Bahn (lines S3 and S31 ) are also located in Rothenburgsort.
