St. Pauli landing stages
The St. Pauli Landungsbrücken are a large landing stage for passenger ships on the northern edge of the port of Hamburg . The jetties are located in the Hamburg district of St. Pauli between Niederhafen and St. Pauli Fischmarkt on the Elbe .
On the bank of the Landungsbrücken the road runs at the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken . The northern entrance to the Old Elbe Tunnel is located in a separate structure at the western end of the Landungsbrücken . The level tower forms the eastern end of the building complex . Halfway up the tower on the Elbe side, a water level indicator is embedded in the wall, which provides information on the current state of the tide . In its second function, the level tower is also a clock and bell tower . The dial is visible from afar. The bell rings every full and half hour.
The Hamburg Landungsbrücken train station consists of a subway station, an S-Bahn station and bus stops and thus forms a transport hub in Hamburg. The landing stages are also a tourist attraction, as from here there is an interesting view of the Norderelbe , opposite shipyards and harbor basins as well as the Elbphilharmonie , and harbor tours can be undertaken.
Jetty
The first jetty at this point was built in 1839. It served as a landing stage for steamers , which could be filled with coal relatively easily here. In addition, due to their coal firing and the associated fire hazard, one wanted to take no risk with these large ships and ensure a sufficient safety distance. Today's jetty, built in 1907, consists of floating pontoons that are accessible from the mainland via nine movable bridges. The 688 m long pier originally served as a pier for the passenger steamers of the overseas lines. Among other things, the large HAPAG line ships docked here .

The old pier was in the Second World War in Operation Gomorrah destroyed so that today's pontoons during the reconstruction from 1953 to 1955 have emerged. The last section between bridges 2 and 3 that was destroyed in the war was only rebuilt in 1976. As part of a modernization that began in 1999, the roofing and lighting were redesigned. In connection with this measure, the replacement of bridge 7 is also planned.
Currently, the pier is used by harbor ferries of HADAG , harbor cruise ships and barges , passenger ships in Unterelbe service and the catamarans to Helgoland . Ships also commute from here to the theater opposite in the port of Hamburg every day .
The three-masted sailing ship Rickmer Rickmers is permanently moored at the eastern end of the facility and can also be viewed on deck.
Opposite the eastern end of the Landungsbrücken there is the Überseebrücke on an independent pontoon, which was previously the pier for passenger ships to and from ports abroad . The motor cargo ship Cap San Diego is permanently moored here as a museum ship.
Cultural monument
At the site of today's landing bridges, the representative building known as the Hamburger Hafentor, which the street of the same name still reminds of today, was located around 1860. The later, expanded terminal building on the shore was built from tuff stone from 1907 to 1909 at the same time as the floating jetty on the site of the old jetties. It was designed by the architectural association Raabe & Wöhlecke for the office for electricity and port construction of the building deputation as a representative ship station. With its length of 205 m and with its numerous passages or "bridges" to the landing stages as well as domes and towers, it sets clear structural accents. The architectural sculptures come from Arthur Bock . On the north side of the level tower, next to the door frame, there is a relief with the inscription “Wohr Di, if de Blanke Hans kummt”.

The entire facility was placed under monument protection on September 15, 2003 .
Inner-city traffic connections at the landing stages
The underground station was built in 1906. On June 29, 1912 it was opened. Since June 1, 1975 there has also been a S-Bahn stop here . The station is connected to the ferry terminals by a wide footbridge.
tram
The tram operated here until June 3, 1973. Finally, line 1 passed here on its way from Schenefeld, Lornsenstrasse (“Lurup”) via Bahrenfeld and Altona, on via Rödingsmarkt through Mönckebergstrasse and the Lange Reihe via Uhlenhorst to Goldbekplatz. Before 1955, line 31 (Bahrenfeld - Altona - Innenstadt - Billstedt) held this function, and line 14 also began its long journey here via St. Pauli, Eimsbüttel, Eppendorf, Winterhude, Mundsburg and Hohenfelde to Veddel to Klütjenfelder Straße ( "Freeport"). It ended with a bidirectional car by changing tracks in the stop that was located in the area under today's pedestrian bridge to the subway. However, she was decommissioned on June 8, 1956 in this area, as the line 14 to mover carriage was changed and was no longer possible to turn around at the jetties. Until 1960 there were a few amplifier trips of the 14, but they led to Rödingsmarkt . With the renovation of the underground station around 1959, the tram stop was given real stop islands in the middle of the tramway.

Stammsiel
One of Hamburg's oldest and largest sewers is located near the landing stages. It is part of the " City Water Art " designed by William Lindley in 1842 . The Geest -Stammsiel collects wastewater from large parts of the city before it is conveyed under the Norderelbe through a pumping station located about a hundred meters downstream from the old Elbe tunnel to the main sewage treatment plant Köhlbrandhöft on the opposite bank of the Elbe. The Siel is passable by boat; For the rowing section of Kaiser Wilhelm II , a separate, underground jetty was even built in 1904, which could be viewed as part of the sewage and sewer museum at the Hafenstrasse pumping station. However, the museum has not been open since March 2009.
