With 54,000 residents, Eimsbüttel is one of the most densely populated areas in Hamburg, and is the namesake of the Eimsbüttel District. Eimsbüttel borders the districts of Stellingen, Lokstedt, Hoheluft-West, Harvestehude and Rotherbaum in the District of Eimsbüttel, as well as St. Pauli in District Hamburg Central, and Altona's Old Town and Altona-Nord in the District of Altona.      

The Eimsbüttel Park “Am Weiher”, a popular green Oasis for joggers in the centre of Eimsbüttel, offers peace and regeneration. In summer, the integrated playground with paddling pool allows even the tiniest visitors to cool down.

Well-known rappers like the Beginners and Samy Deluxe are just some of the artists here; the name of the record label ‘Eimsbush’ is derived from the district’s name. Originally from Eimsbüttel, artists from the Hip-Hop scene are interesting for younger visitors. The meeting point is Osterstraße, which is in the centre of the area.

Tiny shops, romantic cafés and restaurants do not just invite visitors to stroll or shop. By taking the U-Bahn (the underground), visitors are quickly in the centre of Eimsbüttel, but also in other neighbouring districts.
