Logistics Region Hamburg

Hamburg is Germany's largest seaport and the logistics gateway to Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and overseas markets. Port activity, foreign trade and an affluent metropolitan region keep demand ahead of available space.

Location and access

Hamburg sits between the North Sea, the Baltic region and the European interior. Five motorways plus the A26 under construction link it to every major German economic centre. The port is also one of Europe's largest rail ports, and Maschen is one of the largest marshalling yards in the world. The Elbe and the Elbe Lateral Canal connect to the inland waterway network.

Demand

Port activity, imports and exports shape the market. Retail, consumer goods, food, chemicals and engineering run European supply chains from here, and the aviation industry in Finkenwerder adds production logistics. Space is sought in every size band, especially close to the port and along the motorways.

Clusters

The core is the port with Altenwerder. Billbrook, Rothenburgsort and Allermöhe serve inner-city distribution. To the south lie Harburg, Seevetal and Neu Wulmstorf, to the north Norderstedt, Henstedt-Ulzburg and Kaltenkirchen on the A7, and to the north-east Stapelfeld and Bad Oldesloe on the A1. Stade and Lüneburg are gaining weight.

Outlook

New space comes mainly from redeveloping existing stock and brownfields in the port and city and from sites in the wider region. Completion of the A26, digitalisation of port logistics and the planned hydrogen hub in Moorburg strengthen the location. New buildings rely on ESG standards and solar power.

„The Hamburg logistics region is the gateway to the world. With our headquarters in Hamburg, we know the opportunities and dynamics of this market first-hand. Where space is scarce, access to properties before they are offered publicly makes the difference.“
