Hamburg Map Art

Hamburg's map is dominated by the Elbe River, which splits into multiple branches—the Norderelbe and Süderelbe—creating the port islands of Wilhelmsburg and Veddel at its center. The city's street grid follows the river's logic rather than fighting it, with canals threading through the Speicherstadt warehouse district and the Alster Lake forming two mirror basins in the north. Rail lines radiate outward from the Hauptbahnhof, while the U-Bahn traces distinct loops that follow the original parish boundaries.
