Tour description

We start our walk through the history of Hamburg at Hammerburg Square, the birthplace and nursery of Hamburg, and learn how Hamburg got its name.

Afterwards we continue our tour through Hamburg's Kontorhausviertel, the former center of Hamburg's merchants, and its brick offices.

We take a look under the Kontorhäuser prima ballerina’s pretty ballerina skirt.

Take a critical look at the founding charter of our port and discover one or two contradictions.

We continue walking to the Speicherstadt, delve into the red brick canyons and their stories, find out what Westphalia has to do with Hamburg and why workers lived in a castle there.

We find out what barge pushers and barge captains actually did and why there are coffee barons and Persians in Hamburg.

At the end you have the opportunity to end the tour in a coffee roastery in an old warehouse.
