On the beach path you pass the old waterworks. A beautiful old brick building.

The Altona waterworks on the Baursberg was built and put into operation in 1859. It was one of the most modern water supply plants, as it had several catchment basins in which the Elbe water was filtered right from the start. Water from the Elbe was pumped up the mountain using steam engines, where it trickled down and was thus cleaned.
In this way, Altona was spared the cholera epidemic in 1892 that struck neighboring Hamburg. When it came to fresh water, Hamburg was not that advanced at the time.
