Alte Liebe in Cuxhaven, Historical jetty in Cuxhaven, Germany.

The wooden two-story observation platform extends into the Elbe River, offering panoramic views of maritime traffic and harbor operations at Cuxhaven port.

The structure originated in 1733 when three decommissioned ships were intentionally sunk and surrounded by wooden posts to create a protective breakwater.

Throughout the day, speakers announce detailed information about passing vessels, connecting visitors with the maritime heritage of this North Sea gateway.

The platform provides access points for ferry services to Neuwerk and Helgoland islands, while featuring mounted telescopes for ship observation.

The name 'Alte Liebe' derives from one of the original sunken ships, which was called 'Die Liebe' or possibly 'Olivia' in local dialect.
