Norderstedt: Hamburg's Northern Suburb, Arriba Water Park, and Schleswig-Holstein's Youngest City
Norderstedt has a population around 71,000 and sits directly north of Hamburg in Schleswig-Holstein. The city was created in 1970 from the merger of four communities and is one of Germany's youngest cities. The Arriba Erlebnisbad, a large indoor water park, is a regional attraction. Norderstedt is essentially a suburb of Hamburg, with the U1 line extending from Hamburg's network into the city centre.
The Stadtpark Norderstedt, created for the 2011 Landesgartenschau (State Garden Show), transformed a former military site into a 50-hectare park. The city is flat and suburban, with shopping centres, residential areas, and business parks. Norderstedt has attracted companies fleeing Hamburg's higher taxes: Schleswig-Holstein's lower Gewerbesteuer (business tax) rate is an advantage. The Glashuette arts centre occupies a former glass factory. Adult companionship follows Schleswig-Holstein's regulatory approach, not Hamburg's city-state framework.
