Köhlbrandtreppe, Heritage stairs in Altona-Altstadt, Germany
The Köhlbrandtreppe connects Elbufer with Carsten-Rehder-Straße and Große Elbstraße through a monumental staircase structure featuring a fountain at its base.
Built in 1887, these stairs served thousands of workers daily until the 1960s as they commuted between residential areas and harbor businesses along the Elbe River.
The staircase fountain displays the coats of arms of Prussia and Altona, while the structure features depictions of Mercury and Neptune, representing commerce and maritime connections.
Located at coordinates 53.54475, 9.946306, the Köhlbrandtreppe provides access to various transport links and the traditional harbor pub Zum Schellfischposten.
The structure received cultural heritage monument status on April 5, 2001, together with the adjacent residential building Köhlbrandtreppe 1.
