Elbe Viewpoint in Geesthacht

Highlight • Viewpoint

Small arbor with benches and a view of the Elbe - depending on the time of day, it's nicer to sit here or at the end of the peninsula.

RESERVOIR FOR PUMP POWER PLANT
Three sets of one pump and one turbine each are connected to the reservoir, which is around 80 m higher, via three pipelines. The turbines each have an output of 40 MW, so a total of 120 MW, the pumps each 32 MW. The reservoir has a total volume of 3,800,000 m³, of which 3,300,000 m³ can be used. The reservoir located at Geesthacht directly on federal highway 5 is fed directly from the Elbe. When the pool is full, its water surface is 90.6 m above sea level, the lowering target is 76.6 m above sea level. The Elbe dammed up by the Geesthacht barrage serves as a lower basin. This has a storage space of 8,210,000 m³. The average height of fall is 83 m. According to the information on the display board, a total of 600 MWh of energy can be stored in the upper basin [1], which corresponds to a work capacity of 534 MWh. Originally an expansion to double the capacity was planned (6 turbines of 35 MW = 210 MW). Instead there are only three turbines today.


The upper basin covers an area of 500 m × 600 m. It has a ring dam about 2000 m long and about 17 m high. Its 6 m wide crown is 92.6 m above sea level. The embankment has embankments that are inclined 1: 2.5 inwards and 1: 3.5 outwards.

The city park, named "Hachede Park" after the founding place of Geesthacht,
is located between Bergedorfer Straße and the market square.


It represents an important "stepping stone in the city's green axis concept"
as well as a tranquil haven in the inner city.
The park, with its paths, benches, and beautiful pond, invites you to linger.


These include the so-called "blue gates." They symbolically mark a historic route: the connection from the Elbe River to the city. Anyone coming from the Elbe through the Kirchenstieg and passing through the ornate gates will see Winkelstraße and thus the extension of the city center.

During excavation work for the redesign of the park in 1988, workers uncovered the lower part of a fountain from the former rectory of St. Salvatoris Church.
