Billwerder Bucht Storm Surge Barrier
Highlight • Monument
In 2002 the Billwerder Bucht barrage was renovated and increased. The 145 meter long barrage has been located 8.20 meters above sea level since then and thus offers more protection against floods.
The Billwerder Bay is an ecologically valuable body of water and is used not only as an inland port, but also as a sports boat port. The diverse and large abundance of fish in the bay is mainly due to the changing water levels and attracts many anglers here. The Billwerder Bay and the barrage above it are also ideal for cyclists or runners. You will find first-class conditions for driving and running over flat terrain, which also offers great views of the water.

Memorial to the Victims of the Hamburg Firestorm in Rothenburgsort
Highlight • Monument
Rothenburgsort had its darkest hour in July 1943: Allied bombs almost completely wiped out the industrial district, which was important for the war, in a single night. Thousands of residents were killed in the firestorm. Today, a memorial commemorates the night that was erected on the 60th anniversary of the firestorm.
The monument, conceived by the artist Volker Lang, consists of a scaled-down terrace house, the typical development of the workers' quarters in the district. Inside the house there are reports of contemporary witnesses and fragments of literary texts.
