    In June 1952, the first ship greeting across the Elbe was heard from the “Willkomm-Höft”: “Welcome to Hamburg, we are pleased to welcome you to the Port of Hamburg.” Since that day, several hundred thousand ships of more than 1,000 gross tons from all over the world have been marked on nautical charts at the “Willkomm-Höft” as a Welcome Point, greeted and bid farewell with their national anthem.
