Houseboat in central Hamburg with canoe right on the water instead of vacation home with garden

One of the 10 winners of a houseboat - architectural competition of the city of Hamburg is the Peissnitz: A historic barge according to modern standards converted to high-class accommodation. A floating detached house in the middle of the city, with fixed inlet water, sewage, electricity and media. With lush windows overlooking the nature of the renovated Eilbekkanals, a wall-sized double glass door to one of the spacious terraces, floor and wall heaters warm in the winter and cool in the summer, more than 70 m2 terraces, from which you swim directly in the canal If you like it warm, you can enjoy the Rainfall shower in the glass Artweger complex in the Peissnitz spa. Overall, sleeps 8 in 4 rooms offer variations for the night: The cozy bunk bed in the cabin with 2 children or Adults beds each with its own porthole and fresh air, the bedroom with a 160 cm wide box spring bed and 125 cm TV, library with sofa bed which can be extracted (with slats) for two to 140 cm width, the salon with a second 125 cm TV whose sofa bed can be extended to 140 cm. Even in the kitchen could anyone still resting on the couch.

In Hamburg there is a housing shortage and the misappropriation of housing for tourism purposes is being pursued. In order to avoid fines for holidaymakers and landlords, the rental must be approved for each apartment and their proof a housing protection number will be awarded. Only with such a number may an apartment be rented as an apartment during an approved period. The Peissnitz, however, is a houseboat that is not subject to the Hamburg Housing Protection Act. It needs no housing protection number and does not lead either. Your stay is therefore completely legal, throughout the year, the Peissnitz may be rented. However, the tourism tax (bed tax) demanded in Hamburg is levied by all our overnight guests and is already included in our prices.

On the Peissnitz there fast VDSL Internet, more than 100 television programs on both 125cm TVs that can also be used for the internet, and telephone with free national calls (landline and mobile networks). You can call there can, of course, about the Hamburger landline number or a mailbox discuss your needs. A desk with fax connection and fax machine also allows for professional activities, even meetings, presentations in front of a small audience are easily feasible, on request, we like to extend the seating by up to 20 chairs (with armrests). In conjunction with additional tables, this also allows private or business festivities in small groups. Further equipment requirements (eg. As Screen, projector, overhead projector, printer, etc., we will gladly try to comply).

For shopping, no car is needed. Two modern supermarkets offer 800 meters in Holstein Kamp a complete range of daily food. Exotic foods can be found in the corresponding distance in the numerous small international specialty shops Wandsbeker Chaussee. This also only 500 meters away shopping center Hamburger Meile was modernized for more than 200 million euros and transformed. With a total length of approximately 600 meters, it is one of the longest and most beautiful shopping malls throughout Europe. The center has more than 150 specialty shops, cafes and restaurants, including Aldi, REWE and Budnikowski - a Hamburg drugstore chain

There is a lockable garage for a wheelchair or bicycles right at the entrance to the Peißnitz, on the shore strip belonging to it. Right next to the 100-year-old investor the Alsterdampfer was exposed again and can accommodate a small patio with views of the canal and the Peißnitz.

In less than 300 meters away there are two stations of the Hamburg 'StadtRAD-Systems'- where you can borrow register once for a small fee or even free bicycles and return one of the other numerous stations in Hamburg again.

Sports activities can be taken directly from the Peißnitz from several forms of attack. Friends of fishing can throw their own fishing rod from the terrace. Also the water sportsmen have not: At the rear of the Peißnitz is their own football Mooring for cars (max 6 m long.) To exercise all forms of permissible in Hamburg water sports. From here you can use the two canoes that you can also rent, paddle, row or even fix your own, brought Segeljolle the Alster. According to friends of jogging can start right at the Peißnitz, it is still at a very popular jogging circuit running along the Eilbek channel.

A residential property located in the middle of the city always raises the question of traffic noise: Richardstrasse has no function as a thoroughfare and has only minor vehicle traffic with almost no lorries. The Uferstraße is a bicycle lane and only available for residents. The Wagnerstrasse and the Lerchenfeld are far enough away to not be disturbed by noise pollution. Beyond the Richardstrassen bridge behind the nearest houses, a sophisticated urban development is currently under construction, and the banks of the Eilbek canal are being renovated. Opposite the Peissnitz provisional berths for the neighboring houseboats are set up, soon there will be two other houseboats. Even construction noise can not be excluded during normal working hours. The construction site of the sewer rehabilitation is expected to be located directly on the Peissnitz from January 2020. Therefore, the rental of Peissnitz is terminated at this time. But even before it can come during normal working hours to harassment by construction noise of the water construction site. The lush outer surfaces of the Peißnitz can still be enjoyed - just as big city dwellers are used to the heartbeat of a city and the typical background noise. At least our previous guests say so. In the living rooms no external noise can be heard. So perfectly does the insulation with the windows closed. Even with living room ventilation with fresh air from outside.
There's a private balcony or patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom features a shower with a rainfall showerhead and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a safe and a desk.
Take advantage of recreation opportunities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a terrace and a garden. Additional amenities at this houseboat include complimentary wireless internet access and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access, onsite parking, and a car charging station.

A wonderful, relaxing house on the canal
If we only knew how wonderful this place was, we would have stayed longer. The houseboat is spacious, the kitchen is modern and well-equipped, and the amenities are thoughtful. We highly recommend the houseboat Our family of five stayed here comfortably. It was relaxing waking up with the birds chirping on the nearby trees and the swans swimming by in the canal. The kitchen and the eating area was big enough to enjoy a large family meal. And the large outdoor space offered opportunities to enjoy a morning coffee or a meal al fresco. The bedrooms and sleeping areas were spacious. The houseboat is located near two train stops allowing easy access to different parts of Hamburg. And the houseboat is also close to a shopping center with a two grocery stores and bakery. Hamburg is a wonderful city and worth a return visit; our visit was made all the better by staying in the houseboat.

Unique and wonderful experience
There were eight of us that stayed very comfortably in the houseboat. We had an excellent time, taking out the canoes and exploring the canals leading to a pretty lake that was fun to fish in the neighborhood was beautiful and walkable and public transportation was very close we would highly recommend this and stay there again. It was a beautiful experience.

Lovely Houseboat in Hamburg
We had a lovely stay in Hamburg and really enjoyed staying on the Peisssnitz! It is very clean and the design is very modern. It has everything you need and it is close to public transportation to go out and enjoy the city. One thing that should be obvious but I didn't think of before arriving: the boat does move a little bit because it's on the water and when it is windy.

Very Unique and Super Fun!
We had a wonderful week at the houseboat and Henning is such a wonderful host. Upon arrival, Henning met our family of 4 in person and share the story about the houseboat and went theough all the details about the boat. The houseboat is surprisingly spacious for our family of four, it was designed with heart and got so many cool features. Maintainence was topnotch and everything functions really well. It is also surprisingly well stocked with all things you might need, there was even a meat slicer machine in the kitchen! All other supplies were more than plenty, very appreciate the thoughtfulness. We were in Hamburg for our kid's soccer tournament, convenient location and having a washer/dryer in the houseboat are the major reasons we booked it. But we got way more than what we expected, we got to feed the swans right outside of the window, got to row the boat down to the lake everyday and got to enjoy family time together after a busy day of soccer games. Henning is so nice to make this cool house available for others, we would definitely want to stay here again next time we are in Hamburg! Thank you Henning!

This is the second time we have stayed on this houseboat and it is a gem. The quiet neighborhood is the perfect location for a relaxing vacation and allows easy access to public transportaton, putting you in the heart of the city in minutes. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable with a incrediblely well equipped kitchen, plenty of nice linens, beautifully furnished deck and even a canoe for exploring the canal and lake. Grocery shopping and restaurants are also walking distance!

This houseboat is a gem with its pleasing modern design, spacious rooms and tranquil water views on a quiet canal in the city. Heated floors make it warm and cozy and it’s spotlessly clean. It provides a welcome retreat after a day in the bustling city. The hosts, Henning and Regina, were friendly and welcoming. We can’t wait to return and enjoy the houseboat’s calm and beauty again.

A HOUSEBOAT STAY BEATS A HOTEL ROOM
I made a mistake in the booking process but the boat owner stepped in and we made it work. Henning was a pleasure to deal with. 5 adult males made the space work and even with 18 of us for dinner one night. The boat worked well. It was well stocked with linens, towels, cleaning supplies, and spices which I didn't expect but they added to the enjoyment of the Peissnitz. We traveled around Hamburg by taxi and public transportation which both worked well. All five of us enjoyed the City and our accommodations. We would return to Houseboot Peissnitz.

Sommerspaß in der Stadt
Wir waren mit unseren Teenagersöhnen für fünf Tage auf der Peissnitz - und es war eine perfekte Verbindung von erholsamen Ferien am Wasser und Stadturlaub. Es war heiß, so dass unsere Söhne direkt vom Boot in den Kanal sprangen und schwimmen konnten, das Boot zum Paddeln an die Alster nutzten usw. Das Boot ist hervorragend ausgestattet, die Vermieter äußerst zuvorkommend, so dass es für uns wunderbare Tage waren.

Wir haben die Peissnitz für ein Familientreffen an einem Wochenende genutzt. Das Schiff ist ein Traum und wir haben alle unseren Aufenthalt genossen, er war jeden Cent wert! Der Rund-um-Wohlfühlservice (frische Blumen, frisches Obst, Grundausstattung an Lebensmitteln, ....., sowie ein blitzblankes Hausboot mit ausreichendem Geschirr und Wäsche) der Familie Bossow und besonders die Betreuung von der "Hausbootverwalterin" gehen über das übliche Maß einer Ferienwohnung hinaus.

Hamburg und Wasser gehören zusammen
Wenn man sich einmal etwas besonderes gönnen möchte, gehört im Rahmen eines Hamburgbesuchs der Aufenthalt auf der Peißnitz dazu. Das Hausboot ist hervorragend ausgestattet und idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in die Stadt und Umgebung. Das Auto kann man ruhig vergessen. Mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln bzw. dem Fahrrad kann man sich gut fortbewegen. Für Sportler: Dir Laufstrecke beginnt am Anleger. Die Bootseigner lassen nichts unversucht, den Stadturlaub schön werden zu lassen. Dafür nochmals besten Dank.
