Locations in the vicinity

Lotsenhaus
Bubendeyweg 33, Seemannshöft - 21129 Hamburg
At Seemannshöft we can see the vessel traffic service centre (the modern, low rise building) of the Hamburg Port Authority, as well as the historic Lotsenhaus (lit: pilot house). The open tidal harbour of Hamburg is covered by high-power radar stations and an Automatic Identification System for the identification of sea vessels, of which all the information is gathered at the vessel traffic service centre. The Hamburg Port Authority can thus impart information on particular traffic routes and mooring berths back to the ships, piloting them from the vessel traffic service centre. As a traffic control centre, it grants incoming ships entry to the harbour and issues them with mooring berths. Then the harbour pilots take over and accompany the ships to and from their assigned spots. The red-brick building is the operational building of c 75 harbour pilots. They and c 25 modern assistant tugboats with a bollard pull of up to 80 tons ensure the safe manoeuvring of the ocean giants along the quays and into navigable water on the Elbe.
Botanischer Garten Flottbek
Ohnhorsttraße - 22609 Hamburg
The Botanical Garden was founded in 1821, west of the Esplanande. The best preserved parts of Hamburg´s fortification, including the moat, are in this area. The many mature trees are the outcome of the original plans to create the park. The garden and the area of the city´s fortification have been altered frequently as part of the International Horticultural Exhibition. The scientific institute of the Botanical Garden was transferred to the district of Groß Flottbek in 1979 where the grounds were landscaped.
Asklepios Klinik Altona
Paul-Ehrlich-Str. 1 - 22763 Hamburg
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.
Baurs Park
Baurs Park, Blankenese - 22587 Hamburg
Baurs Park's tree-lined lawns extend all the way down to the banks of the Elbe. A former garden of G.F. Baur, the park became public property in 1939. The French architect, Joseph Rammée, provided the drawings for the design of the park which was created between 1802 and 1815. The cast iron railings on the promenade with their stylized palm trees were created in 1834. There is a lighthouse on the near bank of the Kanonenberg.
