For this occasion, an Emperor's Island was to be built on the Binnenalster, where another festive event was planned. However, the island never came to fruition. The design drawings of the Hamburg architect Georg Thielen are unusually vividly executed compared to other architectural drawings of the time. Waving pennants and Hanseatic red and white tents promise a cosmopolitan atmosphere.
