Rothenburgsort, Residential quarter in Hamburg-Mitte, Germany
Rothenburgsort is a quarter in southeastern central Hamburg containing residential buildings, industrial areas, and garden colonies. The district lies along the Bille river and is shaped by main streets like Marckmannstraße and Billhorner Röhrendamm.
The area was completely destroyed during the war in 1943 and then rebuilt starting in 1955. This reconstruction period shaped today's appearance with modern residential structures.
The quarter shows Hamburg's social diversity through its residents from many countries who shape daily life, local shops, and gathering places. This mix is visible in how people use the streets and neighborhoods.
The quarter is well connected to Hamburg's transportation network and can be easily reached via main streets. Visitors can explore the area on foot or use public transit.
The district sits just 3 meters above sea level, making it extremely flat and bordering several other Hamburg quarters like HafenCity and Hammerbrook. This low elevation shapes its character and relationship with water.
