The Diebsteich was a pond around the Hamburg quarter of Altona-Nord. It was located directly west of Pinneberger Chaussee (today: Kieler Straße), which has a detour because of it. It was crossed by the Isebek stream, which flowed into the northwest corner of the pond and left it on its east side. It had a surface area of 1.9 hectares.
