Bergstedt (Northern Low Saxon: Bargsteed) is a quarter of Hamburg, Germany, in the borough of Wandsbek. It is located on the northeastern border of the borough and of the city. It is part of the area of Walddörfer (lit. forest villages).

Geography

Bergstedt borders the quarters of Lehmsahl-Mellingstedt, Wohldorf-Ohlstedt, Volksdorf, and Sasel. The streams and rivers of Furtbek, Lottbek, Rodenbek, and Saselbek flow through Bergstedt. There are two nature reserves, Hainesch/Iland and Rodenbeker Quellental.

History

In 1248 Bergstedt, formerly a Saxonian Rundling, was first recorded under the name of Bericstede. It does not relate to a Berg (mountain), but to a founder named Beric. Also the part -stedt in the name refers to a Saxonian foundation, meaning safe settlement or safe residence.^[1] The Church of Bergstedt (Bergstedter Kirche) was also first recorded in 1248, its oldest parts originating from 13th century. Therefore it is one of the oldest church buildings in Hamburg.
