Why should it be out of question?
If you know Hamburg you´ll know those "parts" look more like seperate towns like in any other german cities.
If you go back in history this will have been the case to a much bigger extent.
Following 1937 Nienstedten was included in the Hamburg city administration.
And finally I share the opinion that those loss records describe the location of the loss and not administrative subtleties
