About This Tour
We start our walk through the history of Hamburg at Hammaburg Platz, the birthplace and nursery of Hamburg and learn how Hamburg got its name. Then we continue our tour of Hamburg's Kontorhausviertel, the former center of Hamburg merchants, and his brick-accounting. We look at the prima ballerina of the Kontorhäuser under her pretty ballerina skirt. Looking critically at the founding charter of our port, and discovering one or the other contradiction. We continue to walk to Speicherstadt, immerse ourselves in the red gorges of brick and their stories, clarify what Westphalen has to do with Hamburg and why workers lived there in a castle. We find out exactly what Schutenschupser and Ewerführer 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 roaster in an old store.
