Bergstedt

Bergstedt (German pronunciationⓘ) is a quarter of Hamburg, Germany, in the borough of Wandsbek.

Bergstedt borders the quarters of Lemsahl-Mellingstedt, Wohldorf-Ohlstedt, Volksdorf, and Sasel.

The streams and rivers of Furtbek, Lottbek, Rodenbek, and Saselbek flow through Bergstedt.

It does not relate to a Berg (mountain), but to a founder named Beric.

In the southeast of Bergstadt lies the natural monument of Timmermoor, roughly 4 hectares in area, a bog pond surrounded by heathland and woods, which was formed in the last ice age about 20,000 years ago, probably as a result of the sinking of the soil layers over thawing dead ice.
