The harbour covers an area of 73.99 km² of which 43.31 km² (34.12 km²) are land areas.

HafenCitye
HafenCity is a quarter in the district of Hamburg Mitte in Hamburg, Germany. It is located on the Elbe river island that was formerly called Kehrwieder and Wandrahm. HafenCity Hamburg is a project of city planning where the old port warehouses of Hamburg are being replaced with offices, hotels, shops, official buildings, and residential areas. The project is the largest rebuilding project in Europe in scope of landmass. The area of the HafenCity used to be part of the free port, but with the decreased economic importance of free ports in an era of European Union free trade, large container ships and increased border security, the Hamburg free port was reduced in size, removing the current HafenCity area from its restrictions. The ambitious project will be completed in 2025, but you can already enjoy some of Europe's most visionary architecture.

Hagenbecks Tierpark
The Tierpark Hagenbeck is a zoo in Stellingen, now a quarter in Hamburg, Germany. The collection began in 1863 with animals that belonged to Carl Hagenbeck Sr. (1810–87), a fishmonger who became an amateur animal collector. The park itself was founded by Carl Hagenbeck Jr. in 1907. It is known for being the first zoo to use open enclosures surrounded by moats, rather than barred cages, to better approximate animals' natural environments. Hagenbeck had become one of the most prominent exotic animal traders in all of Europe. In 1874, the younger Hagenbeck traveled around the world collecting animals. Among his collections, however, were also human beings which he exhibited in human zoos. Hagenbeck decided to exhibit Samoan and Sami people as purely natural populations. The Sami were presented with their tents, weapons, and sleds, beside a group of reindeer.
