Zollenspieker - the Book

At Hamburg’s southernmost point, right on the Elbe, lies a place full of stories: the Zollenspieker Fährhaus.
Bloody medieval battles, famous guests, tolls and ships, splendid festivities, dramatic floods – for around 800 years, this site has been a center of trade, power, pleasure, and culture.

This book tells the eventful and little-known story of this fascinating monument of North German history – from a centuries-old border post to today’s renowned hotel and restaurant with historical charm. Exciting, vivid, and well-researched – the history of a true Hamburg gem.
