HAMBURG

The building with the green roof is a luxury hotel, Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten.

The River Church in Hamburg is an an­chor­age for those who seek help, is giv­ing pas­toral sup­port to the in­land skip­pers and reg­u­larly opens its hatches for church ser­vices. Be­low deck the term “nave” is brought to life. Rows of chairs pro­vide enough room for 130 peo­ple. The church win­dows show life and work on the river. If it was­n’t for the oc­ca­sional gen­tle sway­ing, you would hardly know that up un­til the be­gin­ning of the 1950s this was the in­te­rior of a barge.

There is a sign on the side which I haven't been able to translate. I'm sure someone will help. :-)

When the distinguished gentleman saw me with a camera he volunteered to move, but after I asked him if if he could remain seated in exactly the same pose, he did just that, and maintained his original expression. He was such a polite man.
