The Elbpark Entenwerder is a public park on the peninsula Entenwerder in the North Elbe in Hamburg district Rothenburgsort . The park is about 16 hectares and extends over the entire area of ​​the peninsula near the Norderelbbrücken .

history

The police inspected the G-20 protest camp in Elbpark Entenwerder after the evacuation on July 2, 2017

The Entenwerder peninsula served as a customs island for inland vessels. Until the 1990s, 1.8 hectares were used by showmen as caravan space and winter storage. After a new area for the showmen had been found in the Bergedorf district, the Elbpark was prepared and opened to the public in 1997.

In 2017, the park became known beyond the borders of Hamburg through disputes over a protest camp against the G-20 summit . The organizers abandoned the camp after they no longer wanted to be "harassed by the police and the judiciary".

description

In the east of the peninsula there are lawns that are divided by trees. There the peninsula can be reached through the Alexandra-Stieg. On the eastern edge of the green area is the traditional excursion restaurant “Entenwerder Fährhaus”. Leisure activities include barbecue areas, a beach volleyball court, soccer goals and a playground. At the western end of the peninsula, a sunken roundabout was created for events, which is bordered by pyramid poplars.

Golden Pavilion and Entenwerder 1

The “golden pavilion”, which the Hamburg fashion entrepreneur Thomas Friese and his daughter Alexandra Friese from Münster (Westphalia) brought to Hamburg, is located on a ten by 60 meter pontoon . The pavilion is the work of architects Jan Kampshoff and Marc Günnewig from “modulorbeat”. They created it for the exhibition “Sculpture Projects Münster” in 2007. The walk-in sculpture with three levels is 16 meters high and eleven meters long. The outer skin is made of gold-colored, perforated brass. The pavilion was opened in September 2015.

The pontoon was initially only accessible via a footbridge. Since 2014 it has been connected to the peninsula by the historic steel bridge of the "Wassertreppe 51". The bridge with two arches weighing more than 40 tons, which Thomas Friese also procured, was formerly at a former barge waiting area on the Bille . The city of Hamburg supported the structural measures with one million euros.

A café, the "Entenwerder 1", was opened on the pontoon in 2015 and was housed in two pink shipping containers.

The pontoon is also the base station of the non-profit association “Entenwerder Elbpiraten”, which teaches children from Rothenburgsort sailing skills.
