Phot.Hamb.Blankenese.01.031223.5781
Germany, Hamburg, Blankenese, view from the river “Elbe” towards the “Treppenviertel” on a sunny spring day in March.
This formerly fishing village along the river in the Western Part of Hamburg has a long History, the Name “Blankenese” comes from the low German “Blanc Ness”, meaning white promontory in the river Elbe.
The stunning views from the river-facing stairs-quarter of Blankenese have resulted in highly desirable properties & expensive real estate prices, owned in the past by sea-captains & helmsman, although the ship owners resided on the “Elbchausse” country road along the river, starting at the Hamburg harbour area & ending in Blankenese.
The domiciles at the pedestrian-only labyrinth of the 58 Stairways at the up to over 70 m high hillside, with a total of 4864 Steps, are owned today by anyone who can afford it, not actually only moneywise, …more because to most of the houses, you need the guts to carry everything, food, beverage, garbage, furniture, babies, elderly people etc. etc. up or down by hand, which is especially tough in wintertime or by rain.
