List of Hamburg port facilities
The Port of Hamburg is the open tidal port in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg and the largest seaport in Germany. Its origins lie in the 9th century as a wooden jetty on an arm of the Bille , later on the Alster . Over the centuries it moved far into the Elbe . Today it covers an area of 7,236 hectares from the Holzhafen in Billwerder Bay and the Peute in Veddel in the east to Finkenwerder in the west, from the customs canal between Hamburg's old town and Speicherstadt , the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken and the Altona fishing port in the north to the Harbor basin in Harburg in the south. From the middle of the 19th century it was expanded to its present size with numerous docks and quays . In 1937, the Greater Hamburg Law added the ports of Altona and Harburg . Since the 1970s, the port industry has experienced massive restructuring both in the world of work and in land use due to the increasing use of containers in merchant shipping.
In addition to four container terminals , thirteen port basins and quays are still used for cargo handling or other specific purposes, plus the four Harburg seaports. To a limited extent, seven river ports are also still in use as transshipment points for inland shipping or access roads to the sea basins. In addition, three piers are used by ocean-going ships: the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken, the Überseebrücke and the Chicagokai with cruise terminal. The quays for a second cruise terminal at the former England ferry in Altona are under construction.
The historic port and quay facilities, which were no longer considered for port management, are used differently today; some port basins were simply filled in.
Table of port facilities
The following table lists all docks, river ports and jetties, including former ones. It is designed in such a way that it begins with the historic harbor basin in Hamburg's old town and then continues roughly according to the local location and historical development. The first four columns offer the option of a different sorting:
- alphabetically according to the names of the plants
- with a timeline according to the year of its creation
- according to their district allocation
- according to their use
In this section a distinction is made between:- historical : historical port facilities that no longer exist as such in the cityscape
- Formerly : port facilities that are no longer used for handling goods and are now used for other purposes
- Investor : Sea ship landing stages for passenger shipping
- Docks : Docks and quays for cargo handling, container terminals are shown separately
- Terminal : Docks and quays specially designed for container handling
- River port : port facilities designed for the passage and handling of inland waterway vessels
- filled in : filled in, former docks
