| Abstract: | Industrial activities in the river basin of the Elbe have a very long tradition, and have been resulting in the contamination
of sediments for centuries. Contamination lasted until the fall of the iron curtain; since then, the situation has improved
significantly. In the transition zone between freshwater systems and the marine environment, ports like Hamburg still have
to bear this burden of history. An overall (contaminated) management strategy should be developed in the context of the European
Water Framework Directive with the emphasis on source control.
