Glückstadt is located on the Lower Elbe in Schleswig-Holstein, about 62 km north-west of Hamburg. It is the second largest city in the Steinburg district after Itzehoe. The city is known nationwide for its matjes production and for the Elbe ferry from Glückstadt to Wischhafen in Lower Saxony.

Glückstadt is the only city in Schleswig-Holstein that was founded by a king, in 1617 by Christian IV, King of Denmark and Norway and Duke of Schleswig and Holstein.

The historical city center, the successful efforts of urban redevelopment and the culinary specialty "Glückstädter Matjes" make the city particularly interesting for day tourism.

Glückstadt is located on the Elbe, but anyone who wants to watch the seagoing ships go by will be disappointed. The main fairway is on the opposite bank of the Elbe in Lower Saxony, separated by the upstream river island "Rhinplate". Even from the ferry terminal you can only see the ships passing by at a distance of approx. 1.8 km. A trip to the locks of the Kiel Canal in Brunsbüttel is therefore recommended to "watch the ship".

Glückstadt Harbor

Highlight • Structure

The outer harbor is basically independent of the tide and can be called at any water level and weather.

The inland port can be reached from the outer port through a barrage. Depending on the water level, this is opened two and a half to two hours before high water for about two hours.

Glückstadt Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

The town hall was built of red brick on the north side of the market square in the Dutch Renaissance style. The first building from 1642 had to be demolished after 230 years due to poor foundations. The facade of the previous building was recreated for the new town hall built on the same site in 1872. The current head of Glückstadt's town hall is the non-partisan mayor Rolf Apfeld.

At the Harbor, Glückstadt

Highlight • Historical Site

The street "Am Hafen" is considered the most important waterfront street in northern Germany. It lives from the varied play of its facades and the invigorating green dyke that separates the functional "residential" area from the commercial "harbor" area. The entire ensemble is a listed building.

Royal Bridge House

Highlight • Historical Site

The Royal Bridge House was built in 1635, together with a bascule bridge that could be used to cross the harbor. The bridge connected the royal gardens on the Rethövel with the royal palace in the city. The bridge keeper lived in the small, two-story half-timbered building of the bridge house with a clearly overhanging upper floor. Around 1890, the bridge was demolished and the bridge keeper's house sold. It is now privately owned.
