Immerse yourself in the rough, salt-encrusted history of Hamburg's most notorious feud. This is not a fairy tale, but a search for traces of the conflict between the immeasurable wealth of the Hanseatic League and the chaotic rebellion of Klaus Störtebeker. From the crooked bank houses of pepper bags to the very place where 73 heads rolled into the mud, follow the rise and fall of the likedeelers. Discover why a city builds a monument to the criminal it executed and how the spirit of pirates still shapes the modern harbour front today. Come along and separate man from myth.
