German term or phrase: Moorweidenwiese
You begin your day with a rich and varied breakfast buffet and (in the summer) with a glimpse of starting hot-air balloons on Moorweidenwiese.
original
zumindest im Sommer – die gerade auf der Moorweidenwiese startenden Heißluftballons.


I am translating this into Japanese. Please help to find out what is Moorweidenwiese? Name of the place?

moorland meadow
Explanation:
This is a literal translation. I think it refers to a place in Hamburg. There seem to be other German cities with places called Moorweidenwiese. If I were translating into English I would leave the German term as a proper noun and add a translation in brackets.

agree  Textklick: Used to walk past on the way to work. Should be "at Moorweide" or on the "Moorweide" field (it doesn't look much like a meadow). Definitely not meadow - sounds a bit "sylvan" for field in the middle of the city...

agree  Michael Pauls: Yes, with Textklick. Name of the place in HH is Moorweide.

agree  Michele Johnson: Yes; I might suggest dropping the second "with" and saying "hot-air balloons taking off from the "Moorweide" moorland meadow. (or similar. I realize this will be in Japanese though)
