Domkirche St. Marien

Domkirche St. Marien

This Roman Catholic cathedral is located in Sankt Georg, Hamburg and became the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Hamburg in 1994. It was built between 1890 and 1893 to designs by Arnold Güldenpfennig. It was erected in Romanesque revival style and was the first new Roman Catholic church built in Hamburg since the Reformation.

Inside there are some impressive stained glass windows which includes some modern pieces and a selection of rose windows.

Outside in front of the church is a status to Sankt Angsar.

Hamburg Highflyer - Hamburg

Hamburg Highflyer

Hamburg Highflyer

The Hamburg Highflyer offers visitors to Hamburg the opportunity to take a 'flight' in a tethered hot air balloon to 150m above Hamburg.

The balloon is 23m in diameters and has a caged, circular 'basket' which allows visitors a full 360 degrees view over Hamburg.

Weather conditions at 200m determines whether the balloon can be operated or not with a further requirement that the balloon has a minimum visibility range of 5 km.

Opening times are daily 10:00am to 10:00pm, weather conditions permitting.

Unfortunately, high winds persuaded during my visit and I was not able to take a flight.

Address: Deichtorstraße 1 - 2, 20095 Hamburg

Directions: Head out of Hamburg Hauptbahnhof to the same direction as the shopping centre and turn left. Walk down Steintorwall and you will see the Hamburg Highflyer as you approach Deichtortunnel.
