The borough Hamburg-Harburg lies on the southern shores of the river Elbe and covers parts of Hamburg Harbour, residential and rural areas and some research institutes.

History

Until 1937 Harburg belonged to the Prussian Province of Hanover, where it was the capital of the district of Harburg. In 1927 it was merged with the nearby city of Wilhelmsburg to form the city of Harburg-Wilhelmsburg. Following the Greater Hamburg Act Harburg, together with other cities such as Altona, was incorporated into the city of Hamburg. Despite its incorporation into Hamburg, Harburg continued to be the district capital of the Hanoverian district of Harburg. In 1944, the district capital was transferred to Winsen (Luhe).

On January 1, 2007 the Ortsämter (Precincts) were dissolved and the organisation of all boroughs of Hamburg was restructured. In the borough Harburg to the former precinct Kerngebiet Harburg (central area) had belonged the quarters Eißendorf, Gut Moor, Harburg, Heimfeld, Langenbek, Marmstorf, Neuland, Rönneburg, Sinstorf und Wilstorf. The quarters Altenwerder, Cranz, Francop, Hausbruch, Moorburg, Neuenfelde and Neugraben-Fischbek belonged to the precinct Süderelbe (south of river Elbe).

On March 1, 2008 Harburg's quarter Wilhelmsburg was transferred to the borough Hamburg-Mitte due to a law of Hamburg.
