About Seebek

The Seebek is a small stream in Hamburg that flows from the Alter Teich (Old Pond) through Lake Bramfeld and into the Osterbek. Known as the "border stream" between Bramfeld and Barmbek, it is distinguished by its good water quality. After a restoration in the 1980s that gave the formerly concrete-lined channel a more natural form, the stream now serves as a habitat for many small animals. The ongoing "Eisvogel" (Kingfisher) project run by NABU Hamburg is improving the stream's connectivity and, with raised steep banks and secondary floodplains, is creating new nesting sites and places of refuge. The surrounding area is a valuable habitat for insects, amphibians, and fish, and is a popular spot for visitors looking for a nearby escape into nature.
