It is located on the southeastern border of the borough adjacent to the borough of [Bergedorf](/source/Bergedorf). Billbrook is located in a swamp area near the [Elbe](/source/Elbe) and [Bille](/source/Bille_(Elbe)) rivers, which is described by the name, meaning *Brook* (*Bruchwald*, [carr](/source/Carr_(landform))) at the river Bille.[2] 1,869 people lived in Billbrook in 2023. Billbrook borders the quarters of [Horn](/source/Horn%2C_Hamburg), [Billstedt](/source/Billstedt), [Billwerder](/source/Billwerder), [Moorfleet](/source/Moorfleet) and [Rothenburgsort](/source/Rothenburgsort). ## History On the end of the 19th century the area was raised with sand in order to facilitate the construction of buildings. The area was accessed planfully by a network of long, straight streets, which is uncharacteristic for Hamburg. Five wide channels (Tiefstack- and Billbrookkanal, Tidekanal, Industriekanal and Moorfleeter Kanal) are used for drainage and are also navigable by ships with shallow draft. Today, Billbrook is largely an industrial area, the second largest in [Hamburg](/source/Hamburg).[3] There are only two small residential areas. The Tiefstack power plant is also located here. It was built from 1914 to 1917. ## Politics These are the results of Billbrook in the [Hamburg state election](/source/Hamburg_Parliament): State Election SPD AfD Greens CDU Left FDP Others 2020 33,8 % 23,8 % 11,5 % 08,0 % 05,8 % 03,5 % 13,6 % 2015 49,4 % 13,3 % 04,1 % 10,6 % 08,9 % 04,8 % 08,9 % 2011 51,4 % – 06,5 % 16,9 % 08,9 % 02,0 % 14,3 % 2008 37,2 % – 06,2 % 29,2 % 15,9 % 04,4 % 07,1 % 2004 37,1 % – 06,7 % 47,5 % – 01,8 % 10,9 % 2001 39,4 % – 03,2 % 22,6 % 00,0 % 00,6 % 34,2 % 1997 48,8 % – 05,9 % 18,0 % 00,0 % 01,2 % 26,1 % 1993 52,3 % – 07,3 % 15,7 % – 00,9 % 23,8 % ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Bevölkerung in Hamburg am 31.12.2024 (Auszählung aus dem Melderegister)"](https://fragdenstaat.de/anfrage/bevoelkerung-in-hamburg-am-31-12-2024-nach-stadtteilen/#nachricht-1020709/).
