The community of Jork is also affectionately called “Capital of the Alte Land”, as it lies amidst Germany's largest contiguous fruit-growing area. The Jork town hall, whose wedding hall and burgermeister’s room are in the Altländer style.

The Altländer Museum, on the other hand, illustrates the former Alten Land inhabitants’ ways of life and work.

The main church at Klosterstern. St. Nikolai

St. Nikolai - the name represents an extremely changeful church history. The principal church of St. Nikolai was built during the time of the settlement of the new city in the 12th century, and by 1353 had been extended to become a triple naved basilica in the Gothic style - it was then completely destroyed in the Great Fire of Hamburg in 1842.

Hamburg's water station. Landungsbrücken

The floating dock - called the "Landungsbrücken" (landing stages) – is 700 metres long. Harbour tours and the HADAG steamers to Finkenwerder, Oevelgönne and Blankenese leave from this water "station". Impressive luxury cruisers also dock here from time to time.
