Neuenfelde

Neuenfelde is a quarter on Hamburg's eastern edge along the Elbe River, spreading across several square kilometers. The area mixes farmland with residential homes, churches, and workshops that have been established here over many centuries.

The place grew from two older settlements on a river island that appear in documents from the early Middle Ages. During the 1600s, workshops and businesses began operating here, shaping the region's character for centuries to come.

St. Pankratius Church shapes the local character with its historical architecture and interior design that draws visitors. The area remains tied to craft traditions that you can still observe in how people work and build here today.

Visitors can buy fresh fruit directly from local farms during summer months when harvests are available. Those interested in walking or cycling will find pleasant paths and green spaces along the river for exploring.

A shipyard here has been building vessels for over 350 years and remains among the city's oldest active boatyards. Its survival shows how a local industry can persist through centuries while everything around it transforms completely.
