The Alster is a 56 kilometer long tributary of the Elbe and flows through southern Holstein and Hamburg. The best-known and most striking part of the Alster is the Alster Lake, which is formed in the inner-city area of Hamburg by the Inner and Outer Alster. The development around the Inner Alster is often characterized by white facades and copper-covered roofs of Wilhelminian-style office and commercial buildings.
Outer Alster
The Outer Alster, which is approx. 164 hectares in size and up to 4.5 meters deep, is the larger, northern part of the Alster Lake. It is fed by the Alster in the north and the Osterbek and Wandse in the east. It flows into the Inner Alster in the south.
