If it weren’t for Birte Henningsen’s knitting machine and her friends’ and family’s enthusiasm for the pieces she had created, this sweet little store might not have come to be.

Today, the trained seamstress designs the shape and pattern of a new sweater lovingly and with much attention to detail before it then enters into production in a limited series. Using the finest Italian merino or cotton, she creates half-zip sweaters, hooded jackets, slipovers, long or short sleeved pullovers, polo shirts and cardigans for men and women, all of which have remarkable recognition value thanks to their unique patterns – such as honeycomb, zigzags or holes – slender shapes and calm colours. Suitable for everyday wear, classic, yet modern and easy to keep clean, the Henningsen designs have what it takes to become your all-time favourite items of clothing.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Sternschanze & Karoviertel

The two districts around Schanzenstraße and Schulterblatt are always in motion. Here, it is colourful and lively, and it has become much fancier in the last few years. Still, the district in the borough of Altona has preserved much of its rough, leftist-alternative nonconformism.

Traditional weekly market in Altona Fischmarkt

A real Hamburg classic – since 1703!

Sunday morning in Hamburg. While most of the city still sleeps, the Große Elbstraße wakes up to the bustling rhythm of the Hamburg Fish Market. For over 300 years, it’s been a place of trade, tradition and typical northern charm – full of energy, humor and harbor atmosphere.

Auctioneers, Music & Market Magic

Since 1703, almost anything that’s not nailed down is for sale – from antique teapots to freshly packed meat parcels. Legendary market characters like Aale-Dieter shout their offers into the crowd, bananas fly through the air, and fish is sold by the bucket. You’ll find fresh seafood, tropical fruit, flowers, clothing, souvenirs and much more – the market is a full-sensory experience.

Between night and morning – one iconic gathering

Party-goers fresh off the Reeperbahn mingle with early risers at the harborfront, sipping coffee or munching on a fish roll as the sun rises. For some, the day is just beginning; for others, it’s not quite over yet. The historic Fish Auction Hall from 1896 completes the experience with live music and breakfast options.

Opening Hours

Summer (April–October): Sunday from 5:00 to 9:30 AM

Winter (November–March): Sunday from 7:00 to 9:30 AM

A must-see for culture lovers, Hamburg fans and foodies alike!
