Jan Fedder Promenade: A Waterfront Tribute
Stroll along Hamburg's iconic waterfront promenade, a tribute to actor Jan Fedder, offering stunning harbor views, architectural beauty, and a glimpse into the city's maritime history.
The Jan Fedder Promenade, located along Hamburg's Elbe River, is a vibrant tribute to the beloved Hamburg actor Jan Fedder and a testament to the city's resilience. Originally constructed as a flood protection wall after the devastating 1962 storm surge, the promenade has been transformed into a scenic and architecturally impressive space. Designed in part by Zaha Hadid, it offers stunning views of the harbor, the Elbphilharmonie, and historic ships. The promenade is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, providing a place to stroll, relax, and enjoy Hamburg's maritime atmosphere. Named in honor of Fedder in 2022, it serves as a lasting reminder of his connection to the city and his role as a police officer in the popular TV series 'Großstadtrevier'.
