Hamburg: Speicherstadt - Stories from the Heart of the Trading Empire｜Germany

What can you expect on this tour?

As we stroll among the neo-Gothic brick buildings, I will tell you about the bold visionaries who created this architectural marvel. You will learn why the warehouses stand on wooden piles, who the "district people" were, and what dramatic stories are hidden behind the imposing façades.

I will teach you Low German terms that have echoed through these streets for generations, and I will tell you the origins of proverbs that you use every day. From the golden years of the spice trade to the dark hours of World War II and up to the present day – the Speicherstadt has a lot to offer.
