    During the development of HafenCity, great importance was attached to the quality of the open space design. The architectural firm EBMT Arquitectes Associates from Barcelona won the competition for the design of the open spaces. This resulted, among other things, in the Magellan Terraces.



    The Magellan Terraces are built in steps on several levels towards the water, from them you have an impressive view of the Elbphilharmonie, the Elbe and the traditional ship harbor in the Sandtorhafen. This houses historic ships, sailors and cranes, another special sight on the square. The traditional ship harbor is designed in a special way: it consists of floating pontoon systems that rise and fall with the tide and thus have direct access to the water at all times. The harbor is connected to the Magellan Terraces by restored historic jetties.



    The design of the surfaces of the Magellan Terraces picks up on the historical and maritime background of the place. So-called "carpet elements", colored floor ornaments, refer to the traditional carpet trade in the adjacent warehouse district. The cladding of walls and walls consists of plastic bricks forming abstract fish ornaments.



    The lighting concept of the square is also impressive: a curved steel light element, up to 10 m high, forms a superstructure over the square and provides effective lighting at night.

      The Magellan Terraces are an approximately 5,000 square meter square, similar to an amphitheater, from which you can enjoy a view of the traditional ship harbor in the Hafencity.

      The square invites you to linger and is also used for cultural events.

        The Magellan Terraces are built in steps and on several levels facing the water. Visitors have a great view of the Elbphilharmonie, the Elbe and the traditional ship harbor in Sandtorhafen.
