Billwerder borders the quarters of Lohbrügge, Bergedorf, Neuallermöhe, Allermöhe, Moorfleet, Billbrook, and Billstedt.
Billwerder is part of the Marschlande (marshlands) area in Hamburg, which is known for its wet and muddy grounds.
Billwerder's landscape is formed by the transition of rural Vierlande into the industrial and commercial areas near the Port of Hamburg, such as nearby Billbrook.

These are the results of Billwerder in the Hamburg state election: The S-Bahn stations of Billwerder-Moorfleet and Mittlerer Landweg are located in the quarter.
