Norderstedt is a city in northern Germany located within the state of Schleswig-Holstein and is part of the Hamburg Metropolitan Region. This sprawling area is a combination of four different towns including Friedrichsgabe, Garstedt, Glashütte and Harksheide. Together, they are the fifth largest city in the state. A combination of urban and natural scenery attribute to the attraction of this German municipality.

The best sights to see in Norderstedt include the Stadtpark, a peaceful lakefront area equipped with local flora, fauna, and walking trails. A restaurant on the edge of the lake provides unique views of people performing on the water-skiing course. The Feuerwehr Museum Schleswig-Holstein is an exclusive local allure including a pub, fire brigade playground, and boules court. Bars, restaurants and shopping areas abound including the popular Angels Rock Bar and Golden Cup Sports Bar.

Transportation to Norderstedt is served by the Autobahn A7/E45 and the nearby Hamburg Airport, located 33 kilometres away. Within the town, there is a small commuter railway that runs routes from north to south.

The official city of Norderstedt came into existence in 1970 with the decision to merge the four towns of the two districts of Pinneberg and Stormarn.
