The Traditionsschiffhafen
In the center of Hamburg's HafenCity lies the Traditionsschiffhafen in the Sandtorhafen (which translates to "harbour for traditional ships" in the "sand gate harbour"). The basin you see was the first artificial harbour basin within the city of Hamburg. It was important for modernising the way cargo was handled. It was opened in 1866. (information taken from http://www.sandtorhafen.de/ – German only).
When the HafenCity was created this became a central place for historic ships. Normally you can see quite a display of different ships tied up in the Traditionsschiffhafen.
The cache
Please don't mess with any lamps or any cabeling, that's not it. No need to use force or tools.
The cache lies almost at the given coordinates – I did not want to make it quite that easy. The cache is hidden at a spot, from which you will have a really good view of the harbour basin. From the given coordinates you will see that viewpoint instantly. That should be all you need to know.
The spot can be pretty crowded, but in my experience most people don't stay there for very long. If it's too crowded, use the hint and take your time (not suspicous at that location to stand around). Grabing and putting back should be able discretely.
Saidly, the cache is not doable if you are bound to a wheelchair – guess our modern HafenCity is not that barrier-free after all. At least I could not find a way from the box back to the street, but every finder is challenged to prove me wrong there! You can get quite a bit around, but you'll hit a stair at some point. Try it out, it's kinda amazing how far you'll get (I did not enter any office buildings, I'm sure they would have an elevator somewhere).
One GPS-related thing at this spot: From my experience you often have your device telling you a precision of 3-5 meters, while giving you a position that is 20+ meters off. Just use common sense, and you should be able to find the spot I chose. Since the box is not at the listed coordinates, that should not matter anyways.
The texts within the cache are German only, but feel free to write to the log in any language.

Wir hatten viel Zeit zum suchen, konnten aber leider nichts finden.
Der Ort ist trotzdem ein schöner Ausblick

Heute ging es nach Hamborch, es gab einen langen Spaziergang vom Bahnhof über den Rathausmarkt, St. Nikolai, ans östliche Ende der Speicherstadt, von da aus über die Elphi zu den Landungsbrücken, in den alten Elbtunnel hinein und über den Michel zurück zum Bahnhof.
Ich bin lieber nicht zu den Koordinaten gegangen. Wieviel Grad hat das Wasser aktuell?
Vielen Dank fürs Legen und Pflegen!
