Tiled 'anchor' motif in S-Bahnhof Landungsbrücken, Hamburg, Germany (Fliesen) - December 2016
The S-bahn station at Landungsbrücken in Hamburg appears to have been built in the late 1970s and the finishes make extensive use of what appear to be Buchtal tiles - looking familiar to London Underground eyes as we used these high-fired ceramic tiles on some of our station reconstructions of this date (think Piccadilly Circus station). Here the station columns are decorated with anchor motifs - suggested I think by the proximity to the Elbe, the port and the St Pauli landing stages for ferries.
