## History[edit]

Norderstedt was created by the merger of four villages on 1 January 1970: the villages of Friedrichsgabe and Garstedt, both belonging to the district Pinneberg, and the villages of Glashütte and Harksheide, both belonging to the district Stormarn. The newly created city was assigned to the district Segeberg.

## Location[edit]

The city hall of Norderstedt is located at 53°42′29″N 9°59′37″E﻿ / ﻿53.70806°N 9.99361°E﻿ / 53.70806; 9.99361. Norderstedt is the southernmost city of district Segeberg, bordering with Hamburg in the south and forms part of Hamburg agglomeration.

## Transport and logistics[edit]

Norderstedt is served by the Autobahn (federal motorway) A 7/E 45 via exit number 23 Hamburg-Schnelsen-Nord (Norderstedt-Süd), located on Hamburg territory, in the southwest, and exit number 21 Quickborn in the northwest.
