The Stintfang is a 26‑meter-high hill overlooking Hamburg’s Landungsbrücken, offering one of the city’s most iconic panoramic views of the Elbe and the busy harbor. Once part of the 17th‑century fortifications known as the Wallanlagen, it was expanded into the Bastion Albertus and played a key role in defending the city before the ramparts were later transformed into public parks. The name derives from the fish “Stint,” which was once caught in large numbers in the nearby waters. Today, the Stintfang is best known for its observation platform, where visitors gather to watch ships, ferries, and cruise liners pass by, as well as for the youth hostel that has welcomed travelers from around the world since the 1950s. Since 1995, the slope has also been home to Hamburg’s only vineyard, a gift from Stuttgart, where Regent grapes are cultivated and harvested in small quantities each year. Combining history, greenery, and sweeping vistas, the Stintfang is both a reminder of Hamburg’s fortified past and a beloved urban lookout that captures the city’s maritime spirit.
