What to expect

Hamburg has experienced a lot in its history. And it is the past that reveals a lot about the present of a city, its people and its cityscape.

Starting with the origins of Hammaburg, through the time of the Hanseatic League, the Great Fire, the colonial period and the Industrial Revolution, you will learn how history has affected Hamburg's urban development. On the way from the town hall to the Deichstraße you will discover the oldest traces of the city, take a look at representative Kontorhäuser and experience the picturesque flair of the last relics of the medieval old town. In addition to architectural highlights and insider tips, social aspects are addressed and even unusual questions are answered. Which café is also an archaeological museum? Which Kontorhaus has the most magnificent staircase? Why did the people of Hamburg once blow up their own city hall and what was Hamburg's export hit during the time of the Hanseatic League?

After the tour, the answers to these questions provide an overview of Hamburg's exciting history and combine different eras into an overall picture.
