Rissen, Residential quarter in Altona district, Hamburg, Germany.
Located at Hamburg's westernmost point, Rissen extends over 16.6 square kilometers along the Elbe River, bordering Schleswig-Holstein and containing large forest areas.
First documented in 1255 as Risne, Rissen belonged to Holstein-Pinneberg before joining Altona in 1927 and becoming part of Hamburg through the 1938 Greater Hamburg Act.
The Johannes Church community center and T-House youth cafe function as meeting points for local residents, hosting regular gatherings and community activities throughout the year.
The Rissen S-Bahn station, established in 1883, connects the quarter to Hamburg's public transportation network, while Federal Road 431 provides direct vehicle access.
The Wittenbergen Lighthouse, operational since 1899, stands as a reference point at the edge of the Elbe River, marking the quarter's maritime connection.
