Hamburg Airport ("Helmut Schmidt" - Airport) is a real highlight in and for Hamburg: Even the possible arrival by public transport is contemporary, environmentally friendly and convenient. If the S-Bahn connection to the Hamburg transport network in Ohlsdorf has only been around for a few years, it is now all the more practical and pleasant to be lifted from the depth of the underground track level directly to Terminal 1.
The architecture of the airport hall by gmp (by Gerkan, Marg and Partner) conveys a pleasant generosity and freedom. Under the curved roof structure, which is reminiscent of an airplane wing, even large crowds of people are not perceived as disturbing.
Since we often fly from Hamburg early in the morning with one of the first planes, we are happy to accept the 24/7 gastronomic offer and the option of waiting in Terminal 1 at night. Unfortunately, the seating is not comfortable there and the ambience does not invite you to linger here. In contrast to this, the waiting areas at the gates are attractively furnished with lounge furniture: there is also the possibility to charge your multimedia equipment (cell phone, iPad, laptop etc.) at working height without having to rely on the sockets at the level of the baseboards his.
Overall, we like to use Hamburg Airport: Typically Hamburg: Small. Practically. Hanseatic. Good.
