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.[3] There are only two small residential areas. The Tiefstack power plant is also located here. It was built from 1914 to 1917.
