Harbor lift bridge

The harbor lift bridge in Hamburg is a technical masterpiece and an important part of the city's history. This impressive bridge was opened in 1994 and connects the Wilhelmsburg district with the Speicherstadt. It is one of the few lift bridges in Europe that allows ships to pass under it while at the same time not stopping road traffic.

A visit is particularly worthwhile to see the innovative technology of the bridge up close. If you're there at the right time, you can watch the lifting operations and see how the bridge rises to allow large container ships to pass.

The harbor lift bridge is not only a functional structure, but also a popular spot for photographers and those interested in architecture. There are numerous cozy cafés and restaurants in the area that invite you to linger.
