“Notruf Hafenkante”: Remediation of quay wall at the Kehrwiederspitze.
09.05.2022 - We are looking forward to the new planning tasks at this historically significant piece of Hamburg! The quay wall to be remediated surrounds the “Kehrwiederspitze”, the western end of the Kehrwieder island on the river Elbe. Repeated subsidence has occurred here on the traffic circulation area. The wall shows deformations, leaks and cracks. The approx. 180 m long quay wall section consists of the historic gravity wall founded on wooden piles and various partially renovated cross-sections. It also features the adjoining Niederbaumbrücke and Wilhelminenbrücke bridges as well as the jetty for fire brigade vessels. The Kehrwiederspitze has become famous beyond the borders of Hamburg. The historic harbour police station 2 is an outdoor filming location for the TV series "Notruf Hafenkante". The Kehrwiederspitze has unique prominence due to its adjacency to the Speicherstadt warehouse district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its proximity to the Elbphilharmonie concert hall.
