Schnelsen

Schnelsen is a quarter in northern Hamburg that spans several square kilometers and borders Niendorf, Eidelstedt, and Schleswig-Holstein. The neighborhood consists of residential areas connected by multiple bus routes and the AKN railway line.

The quarter grew from a rural settlement into a residential district, with the Alte Mühle windmill remaining as a reminder of its agricultural past. This transformation fundamentally changed the area's character and purpose.

The Advent Church serves as a central meeting place for worship and community events throughout the year. The building shapes the neighborhood's character and remains a familiar landmark for residents.

The quarter is well connected by eight bus lines and the AKN railway system to other neighborhoods. Visitors will find a residential area with standard infrastructure that is accessible on foot or by public transport.

The quarter is divided among three different postal codes that serve distinct areas. This division reflects how the territory has grown in an organized way over time.
