The term Hamburg city center [downtown] is a frequently used, but not clearly defined term to describe the city center of Hamburg. Essentially, it refers to the area within the historic Wallring (or today Ring 1), which formed the outer city limits until the 19th century. In some cases, neighboring quarters are also included in the term.
The inner city of Hamburg essentially comprises the districts of Hamburg-Altstadt and -Neustadt. To the west (between the Elbe and Dammtor), the Hamburg city center borders the St. Pauli district, to the north (between Dammtor and Alster) to Rotherbaum, to the northeast (Alster to the main station) to St. Georg and to the southeast (to the main station to Oberhafen) to Hammerbrook. The southern border is formed by the Zollkanal and the Elbe.
