When you stand on the beautiful sandy beach in Oevelgönne, you wonder what this strange concrete block is that is standing here on the Elbe. If you don't know, you won't guess. It is the ventilation system for the Elbe tunnel, which runs directly under the Elbe and supplies the tunnel with fresh air.

Fresh air flows into the Elbe Tunnel through this "Central Ventilation Structure". There are also connections to the tunnel via stairs (emergency exits and maintenance access).

This building is part of the new Elbe tunnel opened in 1975, namely tunnel tubes 1 to 3 (the fourth tube, which was built later, runs a little further to the west).
The access to the old Elbe tunnel, however, is located near the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken.
