Town portrait
Glückstadt on the Elbe – a king’s dream come true. When you think of Glückstadt, the first thing to spring to mind is the historic town centre and the original Glückstadt Matjes. And, without a doubt, strolling through the town’s romantic little alleyways or along the charming row of houses at the harbour as well as enjoying our local delicacy also rank among the best things to do during your visit.
But our historic town with its approx. 12,000 inhabitants has even more to offer. It combines the advantages of living in a quiet, little town just outside of Hamburg with living on the seaside amidst one of the most beautiful stretches of landscape in Schleswig-Holstein, the Elbmarschen – right next to the North Sea.
