Kleiner Grasbrook

Kleiner Grasbrook spans 4.5 square kilometers on an island between the northern and southern branches of the Elbe river in Hamburg.

The quarter sustained extensive damage during World War II air raids targeting Hamburg's port facilities, and housed a concentration camp subcamp from 1944 to 1945.

The local community demonstrates international character with over half of its 1,058 residents representing various nationalities and contributing to Hamburg's maritime heritage.

The quarter connects to neighboring districts through the new U4 subway station at Moldauhafen, enhancing transportation access for residents and port workers.

Despite its central location in Hamburg's port area, Kleiner Grasbrook maintains an exceptionally low vehicle density with only 93 cars per 1,000 residents.
