What you can expect

We will begin our walk through the history of Hamburg's Speicherstadt at the birthplace and cradle of Hamburg's harbor.

We will take a critical look at the charter establishing our port and discover a few inconsistencies.

Afterward, we will continue our tour towards the Elbphilharmonie and learn about the rich history of the site where this building now stands.

We'll take a look at how the port changed during industrialization in the 19th century.
And how the movement of goods was revolutionized in the 20th century.

We'll delve into Speicherstadt, its red brick canyons, and the history of its workers and employers, and we'll explain what Westphalia has to do with Hamburg and why workers lived in a castle there.

We'll find out what exactly “Schutenschubser,” “Ewerführer,” “Windenwärter,” and “Kaffeeverleserinnen” actually did, and why there are coffee barons and Persians in Hamburg.

At the end, you can enjoy the most beautiful view of the Speicherstadt district while having a coffee, another drink, or something to eat.
