We start our walk through the history of Hamburg's Speicherstadt at the birthplace and nursery of Hamburg's harbour,
Looking critically at the founding charter of our port, and discovering one or the other contradiction.
Afterwards we continue our tour towards the Elbphilharmonie, admiring the great history of the square where this building stands today.
Take a look at how the port changed during industrialization in the 19th century.
And how trade in goods has revolutionized in the 20th century.
Immerse yourself in the Speicherstadt, the red brick gorges and the history of their workers and employers, clarify what Westphalen has to do with Hamburg and why workers lived there in a castle.
Find out exactly what shoe pushers, ewer guides, winch guards and coffee readers did and why there are coffee barons and Persians in Hamburg.
