Schulauer Fahrhaus - Willkomm-Hoft Schiffsbegrussungsanlage
About
Schulauer Fährhaus, situated in Wedel on the banks of the Lower Elbe, blends the historic ship‑greeting station (Willkomm‑Höft) with a modern riverfront restaurant and café. Visitors are greeted by the charming “Blick und Vorfahrten” ceremony where friendly captains salute passing ships with flags, whistles, and a shout of "bon voyage", creating an unforgettable maritime ambience. The interior boasts warm, Mediterranean‑inspired décor and a kitchen led by Chef Franz Jost, offering fresh seafood, regional ingredients, and seasonal dishes. From the open terrace you can enjoy panoramic views of the Elbe and the bustling Hamburg harbour, while the restaurant serves a daily menu from 12 pm until 10 pm, with breakfast and brunch available on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Whether you choose a leisurely lunch, a romantic dinner with Elbe views, or a family‑friendly brunch, Schulauer Fährhaus delivers an authentic riverside experience.
