I hope that for everyone
Four years have gone by very quickly. But one always asks oneself: what will happen next at Le Canard on the Elbchaussee? It is great to discover that Mr. Jakob Luis Hielscher, chef and certified restaurateur, now wants to bring life to this place, this beautiful temple of gastronomy on the slopes of the Elbe. Together with his life partner, Ms. Scherer, he wants to realize his lifelong dream of independence. His new business concept aims to reach a large target group, such as B. Also accompanied by snacks and a selection of wines, hopes to find an audience and perhaps allow me to invite some friends to Le Canard. After star chefs such as Josef Viehhauser and Ali Güngörmüş, Le Canard probably attracted a much smaller group of connoisseurs at the time.

Is this irony?
Back in the year 2000 or so, on my trips to the annual trade fairs in Hong Kong, Shanghai or Bangkok, I was surprised to see that skyscrapers, bridges or eight-lane city motorways were finished or almost finished before the next trade fair. One year of construction. This is now also happening in Mumbai and African cities. The new Colbrandt Bridge took 18 years to build? Is this true or just irony… Shouldn’t the complex committee finally award the contract to the Asian company for the benefit of Hamburg and the taxpayers?

Amateur own goal
No wonder Hapag-Lloyd, the 177-year-old Hamburg company, is increasingly abandoning its home port, since the Senate, which, although itself a majority shareholder in Hapag-Lloyd, controls the port (half of HHLA, which dominates it, including the joint subsidiary CTA) is selling it to the worst competitor (at a ridiculous price)! ? You can only get an amateur own goal.

Speed 30 is a joke
The cycle lane on the Elbboulevard between Othmarschen and Blankenese changes direction so often and its design is so often altered that even the ADFC is not happy, despite its involvement in planning discussions. There are so many inconsistencies that it is simply impossible to understand. Why, for example, on the Copenhagen road Holztwiete leading into the city, does traffic suddenly become heavy for a long time after cyclists have slowly gone uphill? Or why is the 1.80-meter-wide cycle lane on the out-of-town sidewalk between Elbschlossstrasse and Sieberlingstrasse behind Nienstedten not continued to Blankenese, where there are almost no pedestrians anyway, but moved to the street? Why is there still no road marking between Nienstedten and Blankenese? And finally: why is there no road leading into the city of Copenhagen between Blankenese and Nienstedten, at least in those places where the sidewalk is wide? The improvement proposed by the ADFC with a speed limit of 30 km/h on the entire route can only be a joke, just like the “occasional” ban on driving on Sundays.

unbearable
The evening paper reported on the bike path in Blankenese. Cycling is both environmentally friendly and healthy. I am in favor of it. But: even in the photo, there are only two bikes on the bike path and only two bikes on the road. It would be nice if cyclists would obey the traffic rules. We do a lot for them, but it is obviously not enough, even if the solution is comfortable. Every time I take the train into the city center (twice a week), for example on Mönckebergstrasse and Jungfernstieg, people are riding bicycles everywhere, on the sidewalks, on the wrong side of one-way streets, at high speeds in pedestrian zones. This is tolerable at a time when there are hardly any cyclists entering the city center. I feel that I am being treated badly as a pedestrian.

Not everything is bad
The photos already show the actual problem: four cyclists – none of them with helmets or Hövding collars (imagine a car test driver without a seatbelt). A great, new, well-developed cycle path, but two cyclists driving on the (car) road (imagine the opposite). It is described, among other things, that you are going very fast on the downhills and cannot easily merge into the cycle path. This also applies to cyclists, you can’t always ride as fast as you want. The basic problem remains: mutual understanding between all road users. The demand for car-free Sundays is popular. Do you also agree with bike-free Mondays? There is no doubt that there is a lot of room for improvement on the cycle paths, I judge this based on my own experience. But you don’t have to criticize everything, unfortunately, this attracts too much attention in the media.

Ideas from North Rhine-Westphalia
I am a frequent visitor to Blankenese from North Rhine-Westphalia and love to visit the market square on market days. I think the very modern market house and the new paving are a success. In this way, all the prerequisites for a beautiful village center are actually in place. But what good is it if overeager officials want everything approved – preferably with drawings, reports and costs? Have you ever asked the person in charge how it is conceivable to use the market outside trading hours under such strict requirements? This is a classic example of how bureaucracy undermines citizen participation and unfortunately wastes taxpayers’ money. Many cities in North Rhine-Westphalia used to do this. Now the opposite approach is being taken to avoid inner city desertification (e.g. through after-hours markets with restaurants and wine stalls). Even churches are now making their front yards available for events. Because where living in the center is not allowed or has become more difficult due to strict requirements, people turn away. In the long run, this will also have a negative impact on Blankenese Bahnhofstrasse and its business. Especially because the situation in retail is difficult during this time.
