History

The name probably derives from the Old Germanic personal name Stallo, though another interpretation links it to the Frisian word for a judicial seat.^[2] The area was first mentioned in 1347. It came under Danish rule in the 17th century and later became part of Prussia after the Second Schleswig War in 1867. In 1927 Stellingen was incorporated into the city of Altona, and with the Greater Hamburg Act of 1937 it became part of Hamburg. Since 1951, it has belonged to the borough of Eimsbüttel.

In 1907 the well-known Hagenbeck Zoo opened in Stellingen. During World War II large parts of Langenfelde were destroyed (ca. 38 percent). Today the quarter is shaped by major traffic routes, including the A7 motorway. As part of a "district repair," the "Hamburger Deckel" was built to cover the motorway over a length of 900 meters across the section from the Stellingen junction to the northern freight bypass. It was covered with greenery to create a park.
