Blankenese, Residential district on the Elbe riverbank in Hamburg, Germany
The quarter contains thousands of steps throughout its hilly terrain, connecting narrow streets lined with grand mansions and captain houses along the riverside.
Originally established as a fishing village, Blankenese merged with Altona in 1927 and became part of Hamburg in 1938, transforming into an upscale residential area.
The Treppenviertel district features 5000 steps weaving between Wilhelminian architecture, leading visitors through different levels of the neighborhood's steep hills.
The district connects to Hamburg's center via S-Bahn trains, buses, and ferry services across the Elbe river from Blankenese station.
From the 72-meter Süllberg hill, observers can watch container ships navigate the Elbe while viewing the Airbus facility on the opposite bank.
