We will discover Hamburg from its most beautiful side - on board of the oldest and only genuine Alster steamer, the “St. Georg” from 1876. The crew, consisting of the captain, the engineer and the conductor, will take us on a trip back in time on the faithfully restored steamship “St. Georg”.
## Round trip across the Alster with a view of the night skyline
On this exclusive one-hour tour starting at the Jungfernstieg, we will sail from the Inner to the Outer Alster and also take a look at some of the canals and tributaries.
## The Alster Steamer „St. Georg“
Built at Hamburg’s Reiherstieg shipyard in 1876 for the Alster shipping company of H. E. Justus as the “Falke”, the steamer “St. Georg” is today the oldest preserved operational vehicle of Hamburg’s local transport system and also the oldest steamship in Germany.
For 63 years, “St. Georg” was in use as a regular service steamer from Jungfernstieg to Barmbek to Von-Essen-Straße, Mühlenkamp and Winterhuder Fährhaus. In 1911, it was converted into a flush-decker and renamed “Galatea”. In 1919, Hochbahn AG, the transport company of Hamburg, took over the steamer. In 1936, the transport company renamed the steamer “St. Georg”.
After the war, the ship found a new home, via detours, on the Havel and the Wannsee in Berlin - initially as the motor ship “Deutschland” and later under the name of “Planet”.
In 1988, imminent scrapping gave birth to the idea of rescuing the shipwreck and founding the association “Alsterdampfschiffahrt”. The “revival” was achieved at the shipyard in Dresden-Laubegast. There, the steamer was given back its old appearance from the 1930s. In addition, the shipyard gave the steamer a new heart: an old two-cylinder steam engine. Since 1994, the ship has been sailing, alive and kicking, under steam again as “St. Georg” on the Alster.
