The Köhlbrand Bridge (German: Köhlbrandbrücke) is a cable-stayed bridge in Hamburg, Germany, which connects the harbor area on the island of Wilhelmsburg between the Norderelbe and Süderelbe branches of the Elbe river with motorway 7 (exit Waltershof). It bridges the Süderelbe, here called Köhlbrand, before it unites with the Norderelbe again. The bridge was opened on 9 September 1974.

The Norderelbe (German pronunciation ) (Northern Elbe) is one of the two big anabranches of the Unterelbe river in the area which is now the Port of Hamburg, Germany. The other anabranch is the Süderelbe. Together they form the island of Wilhelmsburg.

The New Elbe Tunnel (German: Neuer Elbtunnel), often simply called Elbtunnel, is a subterranean Elbe River crossing in northern Germany located in Hamburg.

The HHLA Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA) in Hamburg, Germany currently is one of the most modern container terminals in the world, located in the Altenwerder quarter. It is owned by the Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) (74.9%) and Hapag-LLoyd AG shipping lines (25.1%) and lies to the south of Hamburg on the river Elbe. The terminal, opened in 2001, spreads on a surface of 983,500 square metres (10,586,306 sq ft) and has the capacity of approx. 3 Mill. TEU annually. Right now, 2.4 Millions TEU capacity is used. With 1,400 metres (4,593 ft) long quay wall of the CTA is enough to load and empty up to four container ships, including larger ships of the next generation. Maximum draught is 16.7 metres (55 ft), where the quay wall has a height of 7.5 metres (25 ft) over NN (Above mean sea level). With 12 millions M3 sand heaped up, a height difference between dock edge and base of the Elbe river of 24 metres (79 ft) created. The centric container area with a capacity of 30.000 TEU takes the largest part of the surface with connections for cooltainers. The area is served by 22 pairs of cranes and 53 vehicles. The characteristic of the terminal is the nearly fully automated operational sequence.

Altenwerder (German pronunciation ) is a quarter in the Harburg borough of the Free and Hanseatic city of Hamburg in northern Germany. The former village on an Elbe island became a port expansion area in the 1960s. In the 1970s the city of Hamburg announced the formal dispossession of all property to build the Container Terminal Altenwerder. Only the Altenwerder church remains from the old buildings. The terminal started its operation in 2003. Today, Altenwerder is a quarter almost without population. In 2017 the population was 3.

Dradenau was a branch of the river Elbe near Hamburg, Germany. The name was also used for two islands created by the channel, Gros Dradenau and Klein Dradenau (Big and Little Dradenau).The islands of Dradenau were sold to Hamburg in 1445 by Count Otto von Holstein. By 1840, it was leased as private property with two farms and 66 inhabitants. As part of the Hamburg port extensions, the Köhlfleet, another channel north of Dradenau channel, was reclaimed, which connected the islands to Waltershof, an area of Hamburg. By the late 19th century, the channel disappeared entirely due to silting and the construction of the port of Hamburg. A sewage treatment plant, Klärwerk Dradenau, currently exists where it used to flow.

Waltershof (German pronunciation ) is a quarter in the Hamburg-Mitte borough of the Free and Hanseatic city of Hamburg in northern Germany. It is a part of the Port of Hamburg.

Stettin is a steam icebreaker built by the shipyard Stettiner Oderwerke in 1933. She was ordered by the Chamber of Commerce of Stettin (until 1945 Germany, since 1945 Szczecin, Poland). The economy of the city of Stettin strongly depended on the free access of ships to and from the Baltic Sea. Therefore, icebreakers were used to keep the shipping channels free from ice during the winter. For the first time in Germany, the construction was characterized by a new bow design called Runeberg-bow. This new bow design broke the ice using a novel method. It was not broken by the weight of the ship but by a sharp cutting edge. Future development of icebreakers was influenced by this bow form. Although diesel-engines were already in wide use by 1933, Stettin was equipped with a steam piston engine. Unlike diesel engines, steam piston engines can be reversed within a very short period of approximately 3 to 4 seconds. This was important during manoeuvres of the ship under icey conditions in order to liberate the ship if it were to get stuck. With the special hull design and an engine power with a maximum horsepower of 2200, measured at the cylinders, Stettin was able to break ice up to a thickness of half a meter, at a constant speed of one to two knots. Thicker ice could only be broken by boxing, a process in which the ship ran several attacks until the ice gave way. The icebreakers of Stettin were handled by the shipping company Braeunlich, which ran a seaside resort ferry service along the coast during the summer. Its other ships had similar engines, so a single technical staff could be employed year round. Stettin was run by a crew of 22 men. This system was in place until the end of World War II. From 1933 to 1945, Stettin was used in German Navy (Kriegsmarine) service on the Oder River between Stettin and Swinemünde (Świnoujście), as well as on the Baltic Sea. On the night of 8 April 1940, Stettin participated in the capture of Copenhagen by participating in a surprise landing of German troops in Copenhagen together with the railway ferry/minelayer Hansestadt Danzig. Stettin is also one of two or three surviving vessels of the east Prussia evacuation fleet. From 1945 on, she was used by the waterway and navigation authorities in Hamburg on the river Elbe. In 1981, Stettin was slated to be scrapped due to uneconomic costs. However, with the establishment of a development association, thousands of working hours, and support by generous sponsors, the ship was saved. Today, she is a technical culture monument. Her homeport is the museum port of Oevelgoenne in Hamburg, Germany. During summertime, Stettin cruises with guests on occasions like "Hamburg port birthday," "Hansesail Rostock," and "Kieler Woche," and is also used as a charter vessel.

It is located between the promontories of Köhlbrandhöft to the west and Tollerort to the east. It marks the former mouth of the Köhlbrand anabranch into the Norderelbe.

The Süderelbe (German: ['zyːdɐˌʔɛlbə] (listen)) (Southern Elbe) is the biggest anabranch of the Unterelbe river in the area which is now the Port of Hamburg, Germany. Its natural flow path was redirected through the Köhlbrand.
