Overview
- E.ON confirmed the 500‑drone show will launch from over the Stage Theater im Hafen at 22:20 on Tuesday, 15 September, and last about 15 minutes.
- The drones will form moving Hamburg motifs such as a giant Fischbrötchen, ships, cultural figures and football symbols, with music timed to the animation.
- Organizers say the best public view is from the Landungsbrücken and surrounding areas, and the flight will lift off from the opposite Elbe bank.
- Paid viewing options include a historic Barkasse run by Kapitän Prüsse (boarding 21:30, depart 22:00, about 90 minutes, €30) and two‑ticket charity auctions on eBay benefiting Ein Herz für Kinder.
- The event follows earlier large drone displays in Hamburg this year and continues the city’s recent use of aerial light shows as public and corporate spectacles.
