Hausbruch (German pronunciation: [ˈhaʊ̯sˌbʁʊx] ) is a quarter of Hamburg, Germany in the Harburg borough. It was first mentioned in 1553. The large housing estate of Neuwiedenthal is located in the quarter.[2]

Name

[edit]

The name of the quarter derives from a carr (German: Bruchwald) area, which was lent to farmers or woodsmen by its owners, the archbishops of Bremen, during the medieval ages. The fee for the wood was called "Hür" (Heuer, rent). The farmers were called the "Hürer", from this the early names "Hürersbrook" or "Hürsbrook" and the modern form "Hausbruch" developed.[2]
