Hansekai in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg hosts company events, summer parties, meetings and weddings on a waterside site of 350 square meters, indoors and outdoors. The venue stands at Jaffestraße 12, on the Jaffe-Davids-Kanal, and works as a restaurant on regular days.
Seminars and company events
Companies can rent the rooms by the hour or by the day. The venue mentions a meeting room for sessions, parties and company celebrations. An event enquiry states the date, the number of guests, the occasion and the room wanted, and the team replies with an offer. A summer party format called Sommerfest is promoted, and one past kick-off event for 350 guests is shown on the event page.
The venue sells drink and food packages for participants and can add a sparkling wine or champagne reception, a sound system, flair bartending, fireworks and photo or video coverage. A drinks calculator and an event configurator help to estimate costs in advance. Outdoor areas can be covered with tents.
Weddings and receptions
Hansekai presents itself as a wedding venue as well. The event page shows a wedding where guests arrived by a traditional harbor launch, drank welcome cocktails on the roof terrace and dined on the large covered terrace on the canal. The venue also hosts birthdays and photo or film shoots.
Rooms and capacities
The total area is 350 square meters inside and outside. The terrace covers 250 square meters, faces the canal and is partly covered by a pergola. A roof terrace offers a view of the Hamburg skyline. The restaurant room has wood paneling, a high ceiling, copper lamps, concrete and reclaimed wood, and a turquoise bar. No seated capacity is stated for the rooms. The only figure for guests is the 350 shown for a past summer party.
Catering
The kitchen prepares the food in house. Event packages include finger food, front cooking and buffets, and the final menu is set with the service team. The team says costs for catering are discussed in advance, and service staff and final cleaning are included in the total.
History and setting
The venue is on the Elbe island of Wilhelmsburg, on the canal, with a maritime look of wood and a high ceiling. Hamburg's port and the Elbe skyline can be seen from the roof terrace.
Getting there
Guests can arrive by water. The venue has access by harbor launch or boat, and it offers a launch shuttle or a vintage bus shuttle for events. By road, the address is Jaffestraße 12, 21109 Hamburg. Appointments for viewings and consultations can be made outside opening hours.
