Hochwasser in Hamburg an den Elbbrücken (Orkantief Zoltan, 22. Dezember 2023)

English: see below – Ansichten vom Hochwasser in Hamburg am 22. Dezember 2023, vom Oberhafenkanal und den Norderelbbrücken. Damals war das Orkantief Zoltan über Deutschland hinweggezogen. Der Wasserstand lag in Hamburg rund 3 Meter über dem mittleren Hochwasser. Wundert euch nicht, dass in den meisten Szenen Windgeräusche zu hören sind, denn eine Sturmflut entsteht nun einmal, wenn ein Sturm oder Orkan bei Hochwasser zusätzlich das Wasser von Westen elbaufwärts drückt.
Im Hintergrund ist in mehreren Szenen die Bauruine des Elbtowers zu sehen. Zur Zeit ruhen wegen Geldmangels die Arbeiten auf der Baustelle.
Am 21. Dezember hatte die DB wegen des Sturms den Fernverkehr eingestellt. Am 22. Dezember fuhren allerdings am Vormittag wieder Züge.
Der Fuß- und Radweg unter der Billhorner Brückenstraße hindurch nach Rothenburgsort war teilweise im Wasser verschwunden.
Etwas weiter südlich, bei den Norderelbbrücken, standen manche Bäume im Wasser.

Images of the flood in Hamburg on December 22, 2023, from Oberhafenkanal and from the bridges across the northern branch of river Elbe. Then, the storm Zoltan had struck Germany. The water level in Hamburg had been about 3 meters higher than average high tide. Don’t be surprised, you’ll hear wind noise in most of the scenes as a storm surge occurs when at high tide more water is pushed into Elbe from west by a storm or gale.
In several scenes you see the incomplete Elbtower building in the background. Construction has temporarily stopped due to a lack of money.
On December 21 Deutsche Bahn had shut down train traffic due to the storm. On December 22 in the late morning trains were running again.
The foot and cycling path under Billhorner Brückenstraße towards Rothenburgsort was covered with water as well.
Further south, at the bridges across river Elbe, some trees were standing in the water.

Hi! Welcome in Hamburg! In this video you can see images of the flood in Hamburg on December 22, 2023, from Oberhafenkanal and from the bridges across the northern branch of river Elbe. Then, the storm Zoltan had struck Germany.

The water level in Hamburg had been about 3 meters higher than average high tide. Don’t be surprised, you’ll hear wind noise in most of the scenes as a storm surge occurs when at high tide more water is pushed into Elbe from west by a storm or gale.

The pier at Billhafen-Löschplatz with the blue crane is completely covered with water. In the background you see the incomplete Elbtower. Construction has temporarily stopped due to a lack of money. On December 21 Deutsche Bahn had shut down train traffic due to the storm.

On December 22 in the late morning trains were running again, like this ICE. A Flixtrain is also on its way, probably to Berlin. You can see from the bridge pillars that the water has already passed its highest level and is sinking again.

2 suburban trains meet at the bridge across Oberhafen canal. The foot and cycling path under Billhorner Brückenstraße towards Rothenburgsort was covered with water as well. Further south, at the bridges across river Elbe, some trees are standing in the water.

At the southern bank, at Veddeler Elbdeich, the water is quite high as well. The street bridge is on the right side, Elbtower in the middle and the railway bridges are on the left side. I say bye – see you again soon!
