Really cool part of Hamburg! Glad I got to see it! BOOM BABY LETS GO!
Conner is back!! Let’s go.
Dude, you’re a legend. I love your Germany vlogs. Thanks for sharing
great video 🙂 the ships at 2:36 are actually regulary ferries integrated into the HVV( Hamburger Verkehrs Verbund) , if you have a regular HVV ticket u can use these as well without extra costs and enjoy the very nice view
In Rendsburg ( about 80 miles north of Hamburg ) is another real foot path under the North-Baltic-Sea-Canal with a very long escalator. And there is a ferry that doesn´t go on water, but hovers over the canal ( look up "Schwebefähre über Nord-Ostsee-Kanal" ).
BTW: the sign in the middle of the tunnel means that the south part from there goes up 1 m by 100 m, has a gradient of 1%.
I miss your videos. Glad you're back!
Nice vlog! I love the "Mississippi" Ship. Looks so beautiful 😊
Yeah, the next vlog from my home town. I really enjoyed the video.
Very nice pictures, great atmosphere.
Luckily (or a pity ?^^) you didn't slip off the wall.
That would have been a highlight of your videos 🙂
Thank you for that. Great!
Hey, I am a customs officer in the port and Hamburg is also my hometown. What you showed is just a small part of the port. But I like how appreciate my hometown. Hamburg is always worth a visit.
Thank you for the great video 🤗…and by the way: I'm surprised how clean the Elbtunnel is!
Okay, I'm biased because I was born in Hamburg and lived here and nearby almost all my life.
But I think You are right…! 😉
Hamburg is a beautiful place to be, and after nearly 60yrs I still think that the harbor of Hamburg is still fascinating…
Easily the best U-Bahn station. Ships, ferries, tunnel, fish, connection to the city, and the harbor, the Gate to the World ("Tor zur Welt"). From here hop with a bike on the ferry, go to Blankenese, and take the long bike tour along the river back to the city. Especially in summer.
@ConnorSullivan and Hamburg isn't even the most northern City. Kiel, Lübeck, Flensburg, Husum are All further north. You almost were to the most northern tip of germany on Sylt.
The Elbe is only a River, Shops from Hamburg go via Elbe to the NorthSea and Atlantic.
Last time i was there, i think it was still possible to drive with a car through it.
Man the Old Elbtunnel must be the cleanest place in whole Hamburg City. Outside you can see like always pieces of garbage lying around and grafiti everywhere.
thanks Conner great video
There ist a similar Tunnel in Greenwich (London) under the Thames.
Today it is "only" excursion boats and public transport ferries that take workers and clerks as far as the Airbus Industries plant on the other side of the river that dock at "Landungsbrücken". When it was built over a hundred years ago it was the huge "four-stakers" that departed from there to New York. Emigrants arrived by river boat or train from the lodgings that the HAPAG shipping line operated further upstream. Parts of the orginal site have survived and an exhibition centre ("Ballinstadt") has been built around them.
The old "Elbtunnel" was one of the first engineering projects that were carried out with the new "caisson technology" and airlocks. Compressed air was pumped into the site to prevent it from getting flooded. Workers had to wait for 90 minutes in decompression chambers before they could leave after their shifts. Even under these precautions three of them died from the so-called "diver's illness".
There are two stern-wheelers in the harbor. You saw the Louisiana Star, but probably thought of the other one, the Mississippi Queen. Both are used for harbor tours.
12:17 "wagerecht" means level or without any gradient, modern spelling with double-a, from "Waage" (scales, you know, those ancient ones with two balanced arms). From that point to the right there is a slight gradient upwards in a ratio of 1 : 100. So when you walk those further 150 m you climb 1.5 m upwards.
ein Traum die Wände 😀
00:15 no
Trivia: The paddle wheel of the Louisiana Star is fake, it doesn’t drive the boat. Two Caterpillar ship diesel engines with 1,000 BHP do the job. 😊
Hey Conner, if youre still in Hamburg, youre invited to come over 😊
