Landungsbrücken

The St. Pauli-Landungsbrücken is a large landing stage for passenger ships on the north side of the Hamburg harbor. The landing stages were first built at the beginning of the 20th century and had to be partially rebuilt after their destruction in World War II. The current landing stage, built from 1907, consists of floating pontoons that can be accessed from the mainland via nine movable bridges. The 688-meter-long landing stage originally served passenger steamers. The area offers a interesting view of the Norderelbe, the opposite shipyard facilities and harbor basins, as well as the Elbphilharmonie, and harbor tours can be taken from here. The Pegelturm, a tower with a water level indicator, is also located here, and the Rickmer Rickmers, a three-masted sailing ship, is permanently moored at the eastern end of the landing stage
