Hamburg led after six minutes when Hoffenheim defender Kevin Akpoguma had the misfortune of scoring the 1,000th own goal in Bundesliga history.
Bobby Wood came close to doubling the lead when striking a post, but Filip Kostic did score after 75 minutes when his quickly-taken 25-yard free-kick caught out Oliver Baumann in the visitors' goal.
Gideon Jung wrapped up the win two minutes from time by driving home his first league goal from 12 yards.

Ibisevic opened the scoring in the 17th minute before converting a second-half penalty to secure all three points for the visitors
