Altenwerder, Container terminal district in Harburg, Germany
The district features modern container bridges, logistics halls, and the Sandauhafen terminal for handling bulk goods at the southern bank of Elbe River.
The island separated from Gorieswerder during the Allerkindleins flood in 1248, with first written records of Altenwerder appearing around 1250.
The Saint Gertrud Church, constructed in 1831, remains the final structure from the original village and continues to hold community gatherings.
The Container Terminal Altenwerder operates with a capacity of 2.4 million TEU annually through an automated system established in 2002.
The district transformed from a village of 2,500 residents to an industrial zone with only 4 inhabitants by 2023, retaining just one building from its past.
