Ernst-August-Schleuse

Ernst-August-Deich 1
21107 Hamburg

The Ernst-August lock at Klütjenfelder Hafen was completed in October 2011, having cost a total of 26 million euros. It replaces a much larger (unpreserved) construction from 1861 for flood control and tidal range compensation. The lock and subsequent canal are named after the Crown Prince Ernst August (1845-1923), the son of King George V of Hanover, whose sovereign territory included Wilhelmsburg at the time. The new chamber is c 48 metres long, the lock-keeper house with its slanting glass facade, folded sheet metal panels and aluminium-cased outdoor installations give the lock an unusually modern appearance.

Today it is used exclusively for boating sports. The canal leads into the Wilhelmsburg Dove-Elbe and passes by a new housing project (Open House-IBA), various art nouveau houses and allotments, which also seam the conjoined Assmann canal.

(z.B.) St. Annenufer - 20457 Hamburg
The impressive warehouses area within the Free Port, Hamburg´ s famous “Speicherstadt”, was built at the end of the 19th century and is still being used as a depot for goods from around the globe. Coffee, tea, spices and rugs are stored in 17 red brick warehouses with copper roofs. The warehouses are located between a street and the canal. Many bridges, cobble-stone roads and the picturesque facades of the houses adorned with ceramics and tiles in a neo-gothic style evoke the spirit and atmosphere of the old Hanseatic city. In 2017 "Speicherstadt" was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
