Last Friday (June 03, 2016) we went out on a Hamburg excursion through the new Hafen-City district. We were lucky for having chosen this day, it was a wonderful early summer day and Hamburg was shown at its best. But it was not the nice weather which made this event unique but our guests from Italy: Professor Rubino and Danilo honoured us by paying us a visit! Many thanks!
After an introduction given by our guide at the Hafen-City information centre we went out for a guided tour through the biggest inner city construction site in Europe (155 hectares) where they try to link areas of living, working, research and leisure. This ambitious project, started in 2008, is expected to be finished in 2030. The city of Hamburg as owner of the ground awards the construction site especially to companies, co-ops and principals who respect the idea of environmental sustainability. The area of the HafenCity used to be part of the old free port. Once completely developed, it will be home to about 12,000 people and the workplace of 40,000 people mostly in office complexes.
I think we gained some good impressions about the new and very modern part of Hamburg port.
It was really amazing that so many of you joined us.
Many thanks to all of you and enjoy the photos!
