St. Pauli Landing Stages

The St. Pauli Landing Stages extend 688 meters along the northern edge of Hamburg Harbor with floating pontoons connected by ten movable bridges.

The first wooden pier was constructed in 1839 for coal-powered steamships, while the current structure was built between 1907 and 1909 under architects Raabe and Wöhlecke.

The terminal building features volcanic tuff material, distinctive gateway entrances, and domes, earning its status as a cultural heritage monument in September 2003.

The pier complex functions as a transportation center, connecting S-Bahn trains, U-Bahn subway lines, buses, and water ferries for efficient harbor navigation.

The Pegelturm tower displays water levels through a wall indicator, serving both as a tide measurement system and a clock tower for maritime operations.
