Harburg's riverport as venue for the future
To kick off the Harburg Riverport Festival "Leinen Los" ('Cast off'), an event will be held on Friday, June 3rd at TuTech Innovation GmbH, Harburger Schlossstrasse 6 - 12, starting at 6:30 pm. Admission is free of charge. Five keynote speakers are going to address this year's motto for the port festival in their speeches. They will be depicting the various points of view, standards to be met and vested interests round about the Harburg Riverport.
Dr. Jürgen Ellermeyer from the "Museum der Arbeit" will be using several Harburg firms with a wealth of tradition to cast a historic light on the exciting relationships between the port and industry near Harburg's central residential zone.
Dr. Hans Peter Dücker, director of the Hamburg Port Authority, a government agency (formerly the Office of Power and Port Construction), is going to lecture on the current and future challenges resulting from increasing container traffic in the Port of Hamburg, and will present the kinds of future development in the southern sector of the Elbe River and Harburg Riverport which the Hamburg Ministry of Economic Affairs views as desirable.
Peter Koch, head of building and construction in Harburg, has chosen opportunities for development in the riverport as a result of "Sprung über die Elbe" ('Leap across the Elbe'), the new model for Hamburg's urban development, as the theme for his speech.
The focus of the speech held by Andreas Schildhauer, member of the executive committee of Wirtschaftsverein e.V. für den Hamburger Süden, a business association concerned with southern Hamburg, will be the lobby's work, the involvement in favour of structural change into a region of innovation, as well as the standpoint of business and commerce towards riverport development.
In closing, Dr. Dirk Schubert from TUHH, Technical University Hamburg-Harburg, is going to depart from local news to report on revitalisation projects in other European seaport cities.
This event is being held as a continuation of the successful co-operative work performed by the association Kulturwerkstatt Harburg e.V., TuTech Innovation GmbH and the channel hamburg e.V. association. The event is actively integrated into the EU project VISP via TuTech and channel hamburg e.V. TuTech bears responsibility for Work Package 5: Increased Citizens' Involvement.
