Blitz Marathon in Hamburg: Eight mobile speed cameras active today!
Today, December 28, 2025, eight mobile speed cameras are available in the Hanseatic city of Hamburg to thwart speeding drivers. These measures should not only contribute to increasing road safety, but also significantly reduce the risk of accidents. Like [news.de](https://www.news.de/auto/856463574/mobile-blitzer-d-hamburg-radarkontrolle-aktuell-in-altona-altona-nord-stage-theater-neue-flora-wil helmsburg-hamburg-mitte-bahrenfeld-wandsbek-jenfeld-obergeorgswerder-st-georg-horn-hammerbrook-where-is-the-blitz-on-sunday-28-12-2025/1/) reports, speeding is common during traffic controls, which is particularly high in Hamburg compared to other German cities such as Berlin or Munich.
The locations of mobile speed cameras vary and are now available in different parts of the city. Here are the current speed camera locations:
- Stresemannstraße (Altona, Altona-Nord): Tempolimit 40 km/h, gemeldet um 18:27 Uhr.
- B75 (Wilhelmsburg, Hamburg-Mitte): Tempolimit 80 km/h, gemeldet um 18:18 Uhr.
- Notkestraße (Bahrenfeld): Tempolimit 30 km/h, gemeldet um 18:16 Uhr.
- Holsteiner Tor (Wandsbek, Jenfeld): kein Tempolimit angegeben, gemeldet um 17:42 Uhr.
- Obergeorgswerder Hauptdeich (Wilhelmsburg, Hamburg-Mitte): Tempolimit 70 km/h, gemeldet um 16:14 Uhr.
- Heidi-Kabel-Platz (St. Georg, Hamburg-Mitte): kein Tempolimit angegeben, gemeldet um 14:52 Uhr.

Economic aspects of speed enforcement
But these checks are not only carried out for the sake of safety. Financial aspects also play a role: in the first half of 2025, the city generated revenue totaling 13.85 million euros from speed monitoring. Of this, 10.12 million euros came from mobile operations, while stationary systems brought in 3.73 million euros. Welt.de reports that there has been a significant decline in income compared to the previous year.
The speed cameras are an integral part of the cityscape and contribute to compliance with road traffic regulations. According to a study by the General Association of the German Insurance Industry, they are particularly effective in Hamburg. Drivers who exceed the permitted speed limit face severe fines. A speed limit of 16 to 20 km/h in urban areas costs a whopping 70 euros. More serious violations could even result in driving bans.
The police are willing to take consistent action against speeders. A new type of mobile speed camera is currently being tested to further improve enforcement of traffic rules. Even if many drivers may not notice one or two speed cameras, you should always be prepared to be warned by the technology.
