Willkomm-Höft
“WELCOME TO HAMBURG”
This is the greeting heard on the loudspeaker at the ship‘s
Welcoming Point – Willkomm-Höft – in Wedel on the outskirts
of Hamburg. This unusual facility, integrated in the schulauer
Fährhaus, marks the end of the long Elbe coastal path.
The ceremony for all large
ships sailing into or leaving
the Port of Hamburg headed
towards the North Sea has
been the same for decades.
The Hamburg flag flying above
the Schulauer Fährhaus is
briefly dipped greeting incom­
Ferry terminal Willkomm-Höft. ing ships, the “welcome to
Hamburg” message is played
in German and in the language of the ship‘s origin. On
departure, all seamen regardless of where they come
from, receive the same message: “A safe journey and
return soon”. Following the Hammonia song, the inofficial
anthem of Hamburg, the national anthem of the
flag the ship is flying is played. To ensure that no ship
passes the Hamburg border without being greeted,
93 WILLKOMM­HÖFT has a total of 150 different anthems
on file.

and making your own

to Teufelsbrück with
the container terminals in Waltershof and the scenic
countryside of the Altes Land fruit­growing region on
the opposite side of the river. You choose where you
board, with or without a bike, and where you get off.
And since the Hamburg Transit Authority and Hamburg
CARD tickets are valid on HADAG ferries, travel
is reasonable.
Ferry line 62 is ideal for the unparalleled views along
the Elbe riverside. Depart from the pier at Sandtorhöft,
stopping at Landungsbrücken, Dockland and the Fish
Market until arriving in Övelgönne. Container ships
have the right of way before barges cross the river
to the pilot station at Bubendey­Ufer, continuing onto
Finkenwerder (see p 20), location of the Hamburg Airbus
plant. Board ferry line 64 to continue to Rüschpark,
a recreational area, recently enlarged as part of the
Airbus facilities extension project. The final stop on
board a HADAG ferry is Teufelsbrück.
