Development

From plan to district

Oberbillwerder is located in the Bergedorf district, around 16 minutes from Hamburg Central Station. It is not only Hamburg’s second-largest urban development project, but will also become the Hanseatic city’s 105th district. As a model ‘Active City’ district, sport, exercise and health will play a central role here. The aim is to create vibrant neighbourhoods with a wide range of options for living and working, education, leisure and culture.
