Alsterpavillon, Architectural landmark in Neustadt, Hamburg, Germany

The Alsterpavillon features a semi-circular structure with a flat roof, positioned directly on the banks of the Binnenalster lake in central Hamburg.

The original establishment opened in 1799 when French nobleman Augustin Lancelot de Quatre Barbes introduced ice cream production to Hamburg during the French Revolution.

The building became a center for swing music performances during the 1930s and 1940s, maintaining this musical tradition despite the political climate.

The current Alsterpavillon houses ALEX restaurant at Jungfernstieg 54, offering dining services with views over the Alster basin throughout the week.

The structure has been rebuilt six times since its inception, with each version reflecting the architectural preferences and social needs of its era.
