Under the current constituency numbering system, it is designated as constituency 22. It is located in northeastern Hamburg, comprising the southern part of the Wandsbek borough.

Hamburg-Wandsbek was created for the inaugural 1949 federal election. Since 2013, it has been represented by Aydan Özoğuz of the Social Democratic Party (SPD).

## Geography

Hamburg-Wandsbek is located in northeastern Hamburg. As of the 2021 federal election, it comprises the southern part of the Wandsbek borough, specifically the quarters of Bramfeld, Eilbek, Farmsen-Berne, Jenfeld, Marienthal, Rahlstedt, Steilshoop, Tonndorf, Volksdorf, and Wandsbek.

## History

Hamburg-Wandsbek was created in 1949, then known as Hamburg V. In the 1949 election, it was Hamburg constituency 5. From 1953 through 1961, it was constituency 19; in the 1965 election it became constituency 17. In 1965 it was also renamed to Wandsbek, and acquired its current name in the 1976 election. In the 2002 through 2009 elections, it was constituency 23. It has been number 22 since the 2013 election.

Originally, the constituency comprised the entirety of Wandsbek borough without the quarter of Eilbek. From the 1965 election, the quarters of Marienthal, Jenfeld, and Tonndorf were transferred away from it. In the 1972 election, the quarter of Bramfeld was transferred away, but returned in the 1980 election. At the same time, it lost the quarters of Lemsahl-Mellingstedt, Duvenstedt, Wohldorf-Ohlstedt, and Bergstedt. In the 2002 election, the quarters of Marienthal, Jenfeld, and Tonndorf were returned. In the 2017 election, the constituency gained the quarter of Eilbek.
