Altonaer Balkon, Elevated park in Altona-Altstadt, Germany

The park stretches along the Elbe River, positioned 27 meters above water level, offering clear views of Hamburg's port and container terminals.

The park's location traces back to 1638 when the area featured four rows of trees for the Italian ball game Pallamaglio, which gave Palmaille street its name.

The bronze sculpture depicting three fishermen holding an oar, created by Gerhard Brandes in 1966, stands as a symbol of maritime heritage.

Located near Altona City Hall, the park connects the Elbe river promenade with the Neu-Altona green belt through multiple walking paths at different elevations.

A camera obscura installation in a black box allows visitors to experience real-time projections of the Elbe, simultaneously transmitted to Altona Museum's foyer.
