Since 1974, Germany´s highest bridge connects the Waltershof container terminal and the Free Port. The curved cable bridge, visible from far away has 88 steel cables and rests on 130m high columns. The bridge across the south side of the Elbe is 54 metres high and has four lanes.
The “Neuhof Hafengesellschaft” is Germany´ s fastest and most productive handling silo, handling more than 3 million tons of grain, oilseed and animal feed per annum. The entire plant has recently been bought up by the conglomerate ADM, so that in-house competences and filming possibilities must be rechecked.
Unadulterated nature and a backcountry rich in contrasts in the middle of Hamburg Harbour between Waltershof and Finkenwerder. The background shows a logistics centre for container transfer.
The „Museumshafen Oevelgoenne (museum harbour of Oevelgoenne) was founded by a private association in 1977 at the fairy pier of Neumuehlen. It offers a mix of historic professional sailing ships. For example an old fire ship, which was in service between 1888 and 1977, an icebreaker, a swimming crane, the old harbour police boat and a harbour fairy. All of them are still roadworthy. At the pier there is also the rebuilding of a historic shelter like it was used around 1900 at all piers in the harbour. Today it is used by the association.
