history
In 1865 the AG of the ferry house on the Uhlenhorst was founded as the operating company of the already existing ferry house. The AG acquired the old ferry house and replaced it in 1873 with a magnificent new building. It was a three-tower building on the Outer Alster, designed by Martin Haller . In 1913 it was converted into a modern restoration building with several ballrooms and a ballroom. The ferry house developed into one of the most popular meeting places in Hamburg by the Second World War and was used for excursions, balls and dinners. The building was badly damaged in 1943, the remains were blown up in 1952 and the site was leveled.
Today, the Uhlenhorster ferry house of the Alsterdampfer is reminiscent of the former ferry house.
The ferry house in art
The ferry house, its guests and the adjacent Alster were depicted by several artists. The painting Evening at the Uhlenhorster Fährhaus , created by Pierre Bonnard in 1913, shows guests on the terrace of the Fährhaus. Today the painting is one of the most important works of art in the Hamburger Kunsthalle . Max Liebermann created several paintings and drawings in 1909/10 showing the ferry house and its guests. Among other things, his painting Evening at the Uhlenhorster Fährhaus is known , which shows the view from the Fährhaus onto the Alster.
