Wedel: Schulauer Faehrhaus Ship Greeting Station, Willkomm-Hoeft, and the Elbe Town at Hamburg's Western Edge
Wedel has a population around 32,000 and lies on the northern bank of the Elbe in Schleswig-Holstein, directly bordering Hamburg to the east. The Willkomm-Hoeft at the Schulauer Faehrhaus is a ship greeting station where passing vessels on the Elbe are welcomed with their national anthem and flag. This tradition has continued since 1952 and draws visitors year-round.
The Johann-Rist-Gesellschaft commemorates the baroque poet who served as pastor in Wedel. The town has a mix of historic centre around the Marktplatz and more modern residential areas toward Hamburg. Blankenese is the neighbouring Hamburg district to the east. Pinneberg is to the north. The Elbe cycle path passes through. Stade is across the river in Niedersachsen. Adult companionship follows Schleswig-Holstein's regulatory framework.
