Public hospital with large main building, located closely to the motorway (exit Hamburg Othmarschen). The tower's rooftop offers an impressive view of Hamburg's port and the western city. It is possible to use a window cleaning platform for shootings. The platform can be manoeuvred alongside the building on special tracks fixed on the roof. A scurrile detail is the "panorama toilet" on the 20th floor - only a ceiling-high window pane separates it from an abyss 75 metres deep. From here, one looks down onto a lawn and a helicopter airfield. The large supply cellars with their numerous pipes, funnels and valves are also interesting film locations. However, due to the fact that the hospital is still in use, the shootings are only possible in respect to the hospital business.

The Donnerspark, near the famous Elbchaussee avenue (off no. 75) is named after the Altona merchant Conrad Hinrich Donner, who took up residence in the park in 1820.

It was not until 1937 that the district of Altona was affiliated to the Hanseatic city of Hamburg and, shortly after this, ceased to be an autonomous town. Today's face of Altona is very versatile and has both beautiful and less representative motifs to offer. To the west of the train station, the mall Ottenser Hauptstraße and a big shopping centre invite to a stroll. The adjacent streets are still predominated by cobblestone pavement and beautiful fin-de-siecle buildings. To the east and in North of Altona, however, grey high-rise Buildings prevail, which were erected during the post- war- period. Culturally the former working class quarter is very diverse as well; next to large chain stores there are still a number of smaller retail shops, many of which carry exotic names.
