Eidelstedt (German pronunciation:[ˈaɪdl̩ˌʃtɛt]ⓘ) is a quarter ofHamburg,Germany, in the borough ofEimsbüttel. It is located on the northwestern boundaries of the borough and of the city.
Eidelstedt borders the quarters ofSchnelsen,Niendorf,Stellingen, as well asBahrenfeld andLurup in the neighbouringAltona borough.
In 1266/69 Eidelstedt was first recorded as a village,[2] then under the names ofEilstede, Eylstedt orEylenstede. The part-stedt in the name refers to a Saxonian foundation, meaning safe settlement or safe residence, which was founded by a first settler namedEyler. Another explanation derives fromIlenstätten, referring to a place (German:Stätte), where medicinalleeches (German:Egel, Blutegel,Low German:Ilen) could be found, namely in a stream called Mühlenau and the pond of Mühlenteich in the village.[3] In 1937, the village was incorporated intoHamburg by theGreater Hamburg Act, which came into force in 1938.[2]
