Name
The name Borgfelde refers to fields of pastureland belonging to the citizens (Bürger, Low German Borger or Börger). The name of the street Bürgerweide, which leads through the quarter, has the same origin.[2]
Geography
Borgfelde borders the quarters of Hohenfelde, Hamm, Hammerbrook, and St. Georg. The southern border is formed by the channel of Mittelkanal. Borgfelde is separated in two parts, called by the inhabitants Oben Borgfelde (Upper Borgfelde) and Unten Borgfelde (Lower Borgfelde), by the former federal road of Bundesstraße 5 as well as by a Geest slope.
History
Borgfelde faced major destruction during the Bombing of Hamburg in World War II. Today it is therefore dominated by brick apartment buildings built or reconstructed in the 1950s and 60s.[2] This applies also to the church of Erlöserkirche (Redeemer's Church). Originally built in 1902 and destroyed by the bombing in 1943, it was re-built with a then modern architecture in 1952.
