This audio guide introduces Neumühlen–Övelgönne, a historic riverside neighborhood shaped by life along the Elbe. It explains the origin of the name Övelgönne, the stories of flotsam washing ashore, and how recurring floods became part of everyday life for local residents. The guide highlights characteristic architecture along the river and the practical adaptations made to protect homes and gardens. It also explores how inhabitants have viewed the opposite riverbank and witnessed the transformation of the port over the centuries. Together, these perspectives offer insight into how maritime activity and residential life have long coexisted in Hamburg.
