Treppenviertel

The residential quarter features 5000 steps along steep hillsides connecting individual houses from the Elbe River to the top of the district.

The area transformed from a Danish fishing village in the 1800s to a wealthy residential zone where ship captains and maritime pilots established their homes.

Local families maintain maritime traditions through seasonal celebrations, including Easter bonfires at the Elbe beach and winter sledding competitions on traditional Kreek sleds.

The Ring Bus 488 provides transportation services throughout the stepped neighborhood, offering relief from climbing the numerous staircases between different elevation levels.

The neighborhood contains narrow passages between properties, leading through gardens and past traditional thatched-roof houses that face the Elbe River.
