Everything about The Alster totally explained
The
Alster is a 53
km long right tributary of the river
Elbe in Northern
Germany. It has its source near
Henstedt-Ulzburg in the village of Kisdorferwohld in
Schleswig-Holstein, approximately 25km north of
Hamburg. The Alster flows roughly southwards and reaches the Elbe in Hamburg, which was founded on its shore. In the centre of Hamburg the Alster has been dammed since 1190, originally to power a watermill. In 1235 a further dam was built for a second mill, which changed the form of the river to be like a lake. The Alster forms two artificial lakes within the city limits of Hamburg, the larger called
Außenalster (outer Alster) and the smaller
Binnenalster (inner Alster). Today these lakes and the surrounding parks serve as an important recreational area in the heart of the city.
