Eilbek

Eilbek stretches along its namesake canal across 1.7 square kilometers and contains multiple residential buildings constructed during the post-war period.

First documented in 1247 as Ylenbeke, the area gained significance in 1842 when residents relocated there following the Great Fire of Hamburg.

The district maintains two Lutheran churches, one Bulgarian Orthodox church, and the Fundus Theater, which presents regular performances for children and young adults.

The neighborhood connects to Hamburg's public transportation network through multiple S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations, facilitating movement across the city.

Former medical leeches fishing grounds in the 19th century, Eilbek now features the Jacobipark, created in 1954 from a former cemetery.
