Glückstadt City Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Glückstadt's city park was built on part of the former Danish fortifications. After the city had to surrender to the anti-Napoleonic coalition army in the winter of 1813/14 and the victors forced the fortress to be demolished, the then mayor, Johann Ernst Seidel, turned to the Danish King Frederick VI. He asked that the area in front of the former Kremper Gate be given to the city in order to create a green area for the benefit of Glückstadt's citizens. The redesign began in 1818. Remains of the fortifications that can still be seen today are the outer moat with its zigzag shape, the two ponds as remnants of the main moat and the two hills Wilhelminenhöhe and Friedrichshöhe. The Kronprinz and Kronprinz bastions once stood here.

Glückstadt Harbor

Highlight • Structure

Sea-going vessels up to 130 metres long, 16 metres wide and 5.8 metres deep can dock in Glückstadt's outer harbour. It has been operated since 1995 by Glückstadt Port GmbH, a subsidiary of the Schramm Group. The inland harbour behind the barrier is now only of interest to sport and leisure boating.

At the Fleth, Glückstadt

Highlight • River

The Fleth, which tangentially closes off the market square in the southwest, was originally designed as an inland port and was used for trading and transshipment of goods. It was filled in in 1956, but was rebuilt as an essential part of the city's structure in 1987 as part of the renovation of the old town.

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.

Glückstadt Town Church

Highlight • Religious Site

As the third largest naval port in the Danish kingdom, Glückstadt was to dominate the Elbe and bring mighty Hamburg to its knees. To do this, Danish King Christian IV needed a powerful ally: the Roman goddess of luck and fate, Fortuna, who had long been considered the embodiment of the power of fate. Christian, who was the highest bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran state church of Denmark, placed her statue on the 53-meter-high church tower. A pagan goddess on top of the Christian church tower: that is something special.
