Security Guard Services in Hamburg
Luxury retail in Hamburg runs along Neuer Wall and Jungfernstieg on the Inner Alster Lake (Binnenalster), with the Alsterhaus as the city’s leading department store. The port, shipping, media and trading companies give the city a broad corporate base, and HafenCity has emerged as a large new shopping and office district.

Security Considerations in Hamburg
Neuer Wall is a long, straight street of flagship stores near City Hall and the Alster, with a steady local clientele and a growing number of international visitors and cruise passengers. Officers must keep entrances calm and controlled, coordinate quickly with neighboring stores and, in the Alsterhaus, work according to the department store’s procedures.
The Christmas markets, the Port Anniversary (Hafengeburtstag) in May and the summer cruise season bring large numbers of people into the center. North Sea weather means wind and rain for much of the year, which affects exterior posts and patrols. A security program in Hamburg should plan for these conditions, assign German- and English-speaking officers and apply the same reporting at all sites in the city center and HafenCity.
