Overview

• The Westfield Hamburg Überseequartier officially opened on April 8, 2025, with a ceremony attended by 650 guests, including Hamburg’s Mayor Peter Tschentscher.
• The €2.45 billion development features 170 retail, dining, and leisure spaces, a cruise terminal, and hotels, with some facilities still under construction.
• Over half of the brands introduced are new to Hamburg, with major international names like Breuninger and Karl Lagerfeld making their debut in the city.
• The project faced significant challenges, including construction delays, cost overruns, and a tragic accident in October 2023 that claimed five workers' lives, which remains under investigation.
• Expected to attract 16 million visitors annually, the Überseequartier aims to transform Hamburg’s retail and cultural landscape while raising concerns about its impact on the traditional downtown shopping district.
