The system uses approximately 99 LED spotlights and 91 nozzles to create the light and water choreography.
The water basin covers a surface area of about 1,000 square meters.
Despite the modern LED upgrades, the tradition of water organ performances at this site dates back to the 1930s.
The performance area is technically referred to as the 'Wasserlichtorgel' or water-light organ.
The Wasserlichtkonzerte is an illuminated fountain show located within the Planten un Blomen park in Hamburg, Germany. The attraction features water jets synchronized with colored lights and musical accompaniments. Large water fountains spray up to 36 meters high during daily evening performances. The installation uses a dedicated stage built into the park's central pond. Shows change musical themes throughout the season, ranging from classical to contemporary pieces. The spectacle has been a recurring feature of Hamburg's park entertainment for decades. Viewing areas are located directly around the pond's perimeter. It is a strictly outdoor venue dependent on weather conditions for optimal viewing.
The central bridge overlooking the pond offers the widest angle for capturing the full span of the water jets.
Arrive at least 30 minutes before the performance starts to secure a spot along the front railing of the pond.
Bring a light jacket as temperatures drop quickly once the sun sets in the park.
Check the park's official website on the day of your visit, as shows can be canceled due to high winds or severe weather.
Do not attempt to stand on the elevated flower beds or stone walls surrounding the pond, as these are restricted and offer poor visibility compared to the designated walkways.
Performances occur daily only during the spring and summer months; there are no shows during autumn or winter.
