Kleiner Grasbrook

Kleiner Grasbrook is a port quarter in Hamburg-Mitte located on an island between two branches of the Elbe river. The district serves primarily as a working area for port employees and related activities.

The area suffered heavy destruction during World War II from air raids targeting port installations. After the war, it was rebuilt and developed into a modern working district for port operations.

The district is shaped by people from many different backgrounds who bring their own traditions to port life. This diversity appears in everyday interactions and how the community develops together.

The quarter is accessible via the U4 subway station at Moldauhafen, which connects it easily to other districts. Transportation links are well developed for those commuting to or visiting the port area.

Despite its central location in the port area, the district has surprisingly few cars relative to its population. This makes it a quiet place in the middle of Hamburg's otherwise busy port operations.
