Germany Dockland, Hamburg

The Dockland in Hamburg is a futuristic office building shaped like a ship, located along the Elbe River. Completed in 2006, it features a striking slanted facade and a public rooftop terrace with panoramic harbor views. The building is accessible via an external staircase, making it a popular spot for photography and sightseeing. Its innovative design has won several awards and represents Hamburg's modern architectural transformation along its waterfront.

You can only take photos from here at low tide. The tides in Hamburg, including low tide (Ebbe), follow a consistent cycle, alternating every 12 hours. This means low tide occurs roughly every 6 hours, but there are no fixed times for low tide that are the same every day. Instead, the exact times for low and high tides shift slightly each day due to the natural tidal cycle.
You can check a tide calendar (Gezeitenkalender) for Hamburg, such as those from the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) or local resources like Gezeitenfisch or the Port of Hamburg. Typically, there are two low tides per day, one in the morning and another in the evening, but the exact times will vary daily.
