Waltershof, Port district in Hamburg-Mitte, Germany.

The Waltershof district spans 9.3 square kilometers along the Norderelbe River and contains extensive container terminals with multiple harbors for maritime operations.

Originally housing 4,000 residents, Waltershof transformed into an industrial zone following the 1962 North Sea flood and subsequent port development decisions.

The Seaman's Club Duckdalben serves international maritime workers, receiving visitors from 179 nations who gather between their shipping assignments.

The district connects to other parts of Hamburg through the Elbtunnel, measuring 3,325 meters in length, and the Köhlbrand Bridge, spanning 3,618 meters.

Despite its industrial scale with 30 container cranes at Burchardkai terminal, Waltershof maintains a population of only two permanent residents.
