Borgfelde

Borgfelde is a residential district in Hamburg-Mitte situated between St. Georg and Hamm, divided by Borgfelder Street into upper and lower sections. This area spans roughly 0,9 square kilometers and combines residential buildings from different periods with varied urban structures.

The area was handed over to Hamburg citizens in 1256 and initially served as pastureland. Systematic residential development began after it was classified as a suburb in 1871.

The Erlöserkirche from 1952 serves as a meeting place where people of different backgrounds gather for gospel concerts and community events. The church brings neighbors together across cultural lines and remains active in local life today.

The area connects well to Hamburg's public transportation network through Berliner Tor station, which serves U-Bahn and S-Bahn lines alongside multiple bus routes. Visitors have easy access to the city's main transport options.

A retaining wall with staircases provides access to the higher residential areas and visually marks the boundary between upper and lower sections. These height differences shape the quarter's appearance in an uncommon way.
