View towards HafenCity across the Norderelbe. Kleiner Grasbrook () is a quarter (Stadtteil) of Hamburg, Germany within the borough (Bezirk) of Hamburg-Mitte. It is situated on the eponymous island between the Northern and Southern branches of the Elbe river (Norderelbe and Süderelbe), together with the other quarters of Steinwerder, Veddel and Wilhelmsburg. It almost exclusively consists of facilities of the port of Hamburg. The four quarters are technically all islands of their own, as they are all separated by their own dams. In 2020 the population was 1,120.

History

It is believed that the privateer Klaus Störtebeker was beheaded on the Grasbrook island in 1400 or 1401.

During World War II the port of Hamburg and therefore Kleiner Grasbrook were targets of the air raids of the so-called Operation Gomorrah. From mid-July 1944 until October 1945 the subcamp Dessauer Ufer to the Neuengamme concentration camp existed in the quarter.

On the night of 16 to 17 February 1962 the island was widely flooded and seriously damaged by a north sea flood.
