Wandsbek

Wandsbek extends across 147.5 square kilometers in northeastern Hamburg, incorporating 18 quarters from urban neighborhoods to forest villages near Schleswig-Holstein.

The district emerged from a small settlement along the Wandse River, later becoming an independent city before its incorporation into Hamburg's administrative structure.

The district maintains numerous educational facilities with 61 elementary schools and 46 secondary schools, serving its population of over 455,000 residents.

The Alstertal-Einkaufzentrum shopping center provides extensive retail options, while the District Office at Schloßstraße 60 handles administrative services for residents.

The northern section contains Hamburg's oldest forestry district, established in 1770, featuring the extensive Wohldorfer Wald nature reserve with walking trails.
