Hamburg-Nord

Hamburg-Nord is an administrative borough in northern Hamburg that stretches across multiple neighborhoods and is marked by waterways and green spaces. The region connects different residential areas and parks that together form a large part of Hamburg's northern sector.

The borough emerged from Hamburg's administrative reforms and became one of seven divisions that structure the modern city. The area's development followed Hamburg's growth from its port outward into northern neighborhoods.

The Botanical Garden displays a rich collection of plants from around the world and shapes the character of Stadtpark with its green spaces. Visitors can explore different landscapes and garden sections here, making the neighborhood a place where people connect with nature.

The area is well connected by underground and city trains to all neighborhoods, making movement between different areas straightforward. Proximity to parks and green spaces makes exploring on foot or by bike pleasant and uncomplicated.

Ohlsdorf Cemetery is one of Europe's largest cemeteries and lies entirely within the borough with extensive pathways and many historic burial sites. The grounds function like a park and draw both visitors interested in history and people seeking a quiet place for walks.
