Near the Speicherstadt, you’ll find the floating Protestant Riverboat Church at the Kajen / Hohe Brücke landing stage. This 26-metre-long vessel regularly hosts services, weddings, and baptisms. It can accommodate up to 130 visitors.

Guided by the motto, “If people cannot come to church, the church must go to the people,” volunteers travel twice a week to inland vessels in the Port of Hamburg to visit and support crew members.

The landing stage is located opposite Deichstraße. A bridge near the “Mäuseturm” leads down to the mooring.

This imposing brick building was constructed as early as 1886 and was Hamburg’s first steam power station. The striking chimneys were reconstructed as delicate steel structures and continue to define the building’s appearance to this day. Thanks to a large glass dome, the impressively illuminated chimneys can also be viewed from inside.

Today, the former boiler house has been given a whole new purpose: as well as a café, it houses the UNESCO World Heritage exhibition and hosts temporary exhibitions of contemporary art in the historic boiler hall.
