Willkommhöft - the means of greeting ships arriving or leaving the harbour in Hamburg is known by every sailor worth his salt! The place where all this happens is in the Schulauer Fährhaus in Wedel. Every ship with more than 500 BRT, is welcomed or discharged here in their own language over enormous loudspeakers. The country's national anthem is sung and the corresponding flag is hoisted. Additionally, visitors to the harbour are informed of details concerning the travel route, the charge and the data of the ship. A café and a restaurant are also on site and both have been visited by many a celebrity.
