Altenwerder
Altenwerder (ⓘ) is a quarter in the Harburg borough of the Free and Hanseatic city of Hamburg in northern Germany. The former village on an Elbe island became a port expansion area in the 1960s. In the 1970s the city of Hamburg announced the formal dispossession of all property to build the Container Terminal Altenwerder. Only the Altenwerder church remains from the old buildings. The terminal started its operation in 2003. Today, Altenwerder is a quarter almost without population. In 2017 the population was 3.
