Billbrook borders the quarters of Horn, Billstedt, Billwerder, Moorfleet and Rothenburgsort.

On the end of the 19th century the area was raised with sand in order to facilitate the construction of buildings.

The area was accessed planfully by a network of long, straight streets, which is uncharacteristic for Hamburg.

Five wide channels (Tiefstack- and Billbrookkanal, Tidekanal, Industriekanal and Moorfleeter Kanal) are used for drainage and are also navigable by ships with shallow draft.

These are the results of Billbrook in the Hamburg state election: Media related to Hamburg-Billbrook at Wikimedia Commons
