From the banks of the Elbe at the confluence of Carsten-Rehder-Strasse and Große Elbstrasse, the Köhlbrand staircase, inaugurated in 1887, can be seen in Hamburg-Altona-Altstadt with its monumental front building. Wikipedia

It was inaugurated in 1887.
Mercury and Neptune are depicted. The fountain has the coats of arms of Prussia and Altona.
The stairs were used by dock workers on their way to work.

The Köhlbrand staircase leads down the Geest slope to the Holzhafen, Hamburg's oldest harbor basin. The monumental head structure of the bridge shows Mercury and Neptune, the gods of trade and seafaring, on two medallions. Below, in a sandstone relief, you can see Roland with a sword and crown as well as the coats of arms of Altona and Prussia, whose Köhlbrand treaties gave the staircase its name. At the foot of the staircase is the legendary harbor bar "Zum Schellfischposten".
