The former branch of the Elbe, the Alte Süderelbe, has developed into a bay-rich body of still water. The two nature reserves Finkenwerder Süderelbe and Westerweiden comprise the most beautiful and near-natural area.

From one side of the main road Neßdeich, you can watch the Beluga take off and land on the Airbus runway. On the other side, you can look out over the waters framed by reeds and tall shrubs, remnants of riparian forest and the lush meadows and pastures of the two nature reserves.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Hamburg South

Around Harburg's inland harbour, historical and modern architectural styles merge. It's maybe even a bit like HafenCity. Finkenwerder, on the other hand, has the charm of a fishing village. – Here, you see a quite different, almost rural side of Hamburg. Harburg and Finkenwerder are also good starting points for discovering the Hamburg metropolitan area.

Organ music at Schnitger’s home church St. Pankratius-Kirche Neuenfelde

Built in the 17th and 18th centuries, this parish church is one of the most important Baroque churches in Northern Germany – and was also the home church of world-famous organ builder Arp Schnitger, who lived in the district of Neuenfelde. The pipe organ he built for this church is the largest Schnitger organ that is still preserved today, with 34 stops and two manuals on a double gallery to ensure the perfect acoustics. Today, a contemporary slab is embedded in the church corridor’s floor to commemorate Schnitger. An ideal opportunity to experience the sound of this wonderful instrument is the “Neuenfelder Orgelmusiken” concert that is hosted every first Sunday between April and December. The concert series has been taking place since 1952 and attracts music lovers from Hamburg and beyond. In addition to the Schnitger organ, the Pankratius Church is also home to Northern Germany’s oldest pulpit altar. Service is held each Sunday at 9.30 am.
