Erlkönig

Café Erlkönig is the museum café and bistro located inside Automuseum PROTOTYP in HafenCity, Hamburg. It offers coffee specialties, soft drinks and light snacks for visitors taking a break from the exhibits.

The café accepts table reservations for groups (often linked to guided tours) and sits on the museum's ground floor, making it convenient for a post‑visit coffee or a casual meet‑up in a design-driven setting.
