At the end of Hamburg, deep in the west of the city, lies a small village. Its character has been shaped over centuries by the course of the Elbe, its people and their crafts. Green hills and white sandbanks gave it its name. The staircase district in Blankenese. A small cosmos of its own, part of the large Hanseatic metropolis, but somehow different, unique, a place where the ebb and flow of the tides constantly keep the course of things in motion.
