Hamburg, Blankenese, …give nature, bees, insects etc. a chance,
…give us a chance.
By the way, the owner is using this far over 100 years old house & garden as a weekend domicile & guesthouse for friends & business partners.
The formerly fishing village along the Elbe River in the western part of Hamburg has a long history, the name “Blankenese” comes from the Low German dialect “Blanc Ness”, meaning white promontory in the Elbe River.
The stunning views from the river-facing famous stairs-quarter of Blankenese have resulted in highly desirable properties & expensive real estate prices owned in the past by ship-owners, captains & helmsman, although most of the ship-owners resided along the “Elbchausse”, the road along above the River, starting at the Hamburg Harbour Area & ending in via Blankenese in Rissen.
The domiciles at the pedestrian-only labyrinth of the 58 stairs at the up to over 70 m high hillside, with a total of officially 4864 steps, are owned today by anyone who can afford it, not actually only moneywise, …more because you need the guts to carry everything over the stairs, food, beverage, garbage, furniture, babies, elderly people etc. etc. by hand up or down, which is especially tough in wintertime or by rain.
From spring to autumn the "Treppenviertel" is one of tourist favoured sightseeing point, with a few small cafés with home-made pastries & the restaurants along the river bank.
👉 One World one Dream,
