Eilbek, Residential district in Wandsbek, Hamburg, Germany.
Description
Eilbek is a residential quarter in Hamburg that extends along a canal of the same name and contains numerous apartment buildings from the post-war period. The area covers approximately 1.7 square kilometers with a primarily residential character.
History
The area was first documented in 1247 as Ylenbeke and experienced major growth when many residents relocated here after the Great Fire of Hamburg in 1842. This migration shaped it into a modern residential area.
Culture
The district has an active religious community with two Lutheran churches, a Bulgarian Orthodox church, and the Fundus Theater, which regularly presents performances for children and young people.
Practical
The quarter connects well to Hamburg's public transportation network through several S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations for easy movement across the city. The flat terrain also makes it straightforward to get around by bicycle or on foot.

In the 19th century, the area was known for fishing medical leeches from its canals and is marked today by Jacobipark. This park was created in 1954 on the grounds of a former cemetery.
