Zollenbrücke

It has statues of Graf Adolf III and Bishop Ansgar on both sides.

The building of the Patriotic Society was erected following the great fire of 1842 on the former site of the old town hall of Hamburg. Built using the most modern technology at that time, including concrete substructure, and featuring modern techology such as flush toilets, it was nevertheless kept in a style that was an interpretation of the surrounding medieval architectural heritage. Of note inside is the large hanging clock by Aloys Denoth.

Situated on an island, it traditionally served as the church of the seamen. The base of its spire, dating from the 13th century, is the second oldest building preserved in the city. The church is also famous for its centuries-old organ, played by Bach when he was visiting the city. The instrument was actually destroyed to a large extent by the wartime bombings, but has been meticulously rebuilt and is playable again.

All five main churches of Hamburg were damaged in World War II. But in contrast to the other four, St. Nikolai has not been re-erected making it a memorial against war. It was designed by English architect George Gilbert Scott. The steeple is still standing and visitors can take an elevator to the top for a view of the city.

The hop market with its fountain Vierländerinbrunnen

Between the buildings, there is a little courtyard called Rathaushof with its fountain, Hygieia-Brunnen.
