The Baumwall metro station is an elevated station with a view over the Hamburg harbour and direct access to the very modern office building of publisher Gruner&Jahr.
The City Marina is one of Hamburg´s most versatile locations it features some of the most beautiful sights of the city. Because of the centred landing stages and anchorages, who have a direct optical connection to harbour facilities, Hanseatic Trade Center and city center, this spot is particularly favoured for shootings of all types.
MADISON is a special and privately leaded Hotel between the center of Hamburg and the haven. With its 166 apartments and lofts, the Marley’s restaurant, the bar as well as 5 conference rooms does the MADISON not only offer nice views but also quiet nights and an ideal location for shootings. Especially interesting are both pent houses on the 7th floor with its huge roof terrace and the view over Hamburg.
The Cap San Diego is one of the last remaining ships of a series of six fast cargo ships built between 1961 and 1962 on shipyards in Hamburg and Kiel for the Hamburg-Südamerikanische Dampfschiffgesellschaft Eggert & Amsinck, the Hamburg-Southamerican Steamship Company. This type of ship represents the peak of conventional cargo shipbuilding. It belonged to the fast lines of its time with a big cold-storage hold and modern cabins for 12 passengers. Technical details: The ship with a 11,650 horsepower, two-stroke engine, is a good example of classical engine construction before the advent of electronic control engineering. The technical equipment is almost entirely preserved and in excellent working order. The interior design by the well-known Hamburg architect, Prof. C. Pinnau, is from the late 1950s and reflects the fashion of these days. The foredeck is extremely long, the middle part of the ship is a streamlined, closed construction. After many years abroad, the Cap San Diego returned to Hamburg in 1986.
The bridge connects the harbour promenade with the jetties at the lower harbour, where, amongst others, the ship Cap San Diego lies at anchor.
