Where History meets Modern Lifestyle Since May 2012, the exclusive four-star hotel and listed ferry house has combined modern hotel comfort with over 750 years of history. Situated at the southernmost point in Hamburg, the Zollenspieker Fährhaus stands out primarily due to its unique location on the Elbe. There is no other historical building in northern Germany that represents a piece of Hanseatic history quite like this one. Its foundation walls date back as far 1252, so it’s not surprising that this building has been part of many historical events.
