On Ulmenstrasse and at the beginning of Ohlsdorfer Strasse, you can still find some well-maintained bleaching houses from the mid-19th century. After the Great Fire of Hamburg in 1842, progressive industrialisation and urban redevelopment, some sections of the population were moved out to nearby surrounding areas. So the bleachers made up the largest group of new Winterhude residents.

The main church at Klosterstern. St. Nikolai

St. Nikolai - the name represents an extremely changeful church history. The principal church of St. Nikolai was built during the time of the settlement of the new city in the 12th century, and by 1353 had been extended to become a triple naved basilica in the Gothic style - it was then completely destroyed in the Great Fire of Hamburg in 1842.

Hamburg's water station. Landungsbrücken

The floating dock - called the "Landungsbrücken" (landing stages) – is 700 metres long. Harbour tours and the HADAG steamers to Finkenwerder, Oevelgönne and Blankenese leave from this water "station". Impressive luxury cruisers also dock here from time to time.
