      You can walk through the tunnel on foot under the Elbe to Steinwerder (free). From there you have a nice view of the harbor - sometimes from the other side. Back one can z. B. take the Elbe ferry (to the local transport tariff) as a mini-harbor cruise or walk back through the tunnel and again admire the technical facilities, but also the small beautiful stoneware reliefs on the tiled walls.

        Since 2003, the Old Elbe Tunnel has been a listed building. When the St. Pauli Elbe Tunnel, also affectionately known as the "Old Elbe Tunnel", opened in 1911, it was a technical sensation. Today it is a nostalgic and well-maintained piece of Hamburg history and has already celebrated its 100th anniversary. The Old Elbe Tunnel was the continent's first tunnel under a river and became necessary because the growth of the Port of Hamburg increasingly shifted to the southern side of the Elbe and required improved transport connections.
