Hamm is a quarter in the borough of Hamburg-Mitte, in the eastern part of Hamburg, Germany. Once a popular garden suburb of rich traders and merchants, in the first half of the 20th century it grew to become one of the most populated quarters of Hamburg. In the Second World War, however, the area was mostly flattened. As of 2020 the population was 37,989.[2]

Between 1951 and 2010 Hamm was subdivided into three neighborhoods: Hamm-Nord, -Mitte und -Süd (Hamm-North, -Middle, and South). On 1 January 2011, this subdivision was repealed and the three were again combined.[3]
