The 15-hectare site Schenefeld houses the European XFEL research centre, where around 350 people will work. The site accomodates the main building (in the foreground), supply halls for the underground tunnel "fan", infrastructure facilities, and possibly buildings for partner institutes.

The European XFEL facility in Hamburg and Schenefeld (as of January 2014)
The European XFEL X-ray laser is a 3.4-km-long facility which runs essentially underground. The three sites (framed in red) are located in Hamburg (DESY-Bahrenfeld and Osdorfer Born) as well as in the south of the city of Schenefeld (Pinneberg district, Schleswig-Holstein).
