We will discover Hamburg from its most beautiful side - on board of the oldest and only genuine Alster steamer, the “St. Georg” from 1876. The crew, consisting of the captain, the engineer and the conductor, will take us on a trip back in time on the faithfully restored steamship “St. Georg”.
Port tour “Of treasure chests and pepper sacks” - The port of Hamburg in unequal world trade. Where does our coffee come from, where is the world’s largest warehouse for oriental carpets located and why does desperately poor Liberia have one of the largest trading fleets? A journey behind the backdrop of brick walls and container gantry cranes. It’s about coffee and cocoa, soybeans and bananas, jeans and armaments.
Since 1998, The Freies Senderkombinat (FSK) is Hamburg’s independent Free Radio station. It is operated purely on a volunteer basis, without any paid positions. This tour will provide you with a insight into the operation of a Free Radio.
Join us for an exciting opportunity to explore the European XFEL! The 3.4 kilometers (2.11 miles) long European XFEL generates extremely intense X-ray flashes used by researchers from all over the world. The X-ray flashes are produced in underground tunnels and allow scientists to map atomic details of viruses, film chemical reactions, and study processes like those in the interior of planets. On this tour, we will also visit the newly opened visitor center featuring an engaging exhibition. Moreover, we will descend five floors underground to the experimental hall, where researchers utilize X-ray beams for their experiments.
The Easterhegg is hosted by Kampnagel, a good opportunity to learn about the history of this place. During the tour of the site, your guide Katja will tell you how the crane factory became a cultural institution.
At the Train Museum Lokschuppen Aumühle, the Verein Verkehrsamateure und Museumsbahn e. V. has collected and restored vehicles from 150 years of railroad history, among them multiple generations of Hamburg urban railways. We will use the light railway and take a tour around the grounds of the museum and to its exhibits. Competent volunteer members explain the history of the moving stock, the signal tours and safety equipment, track construction and many other aspects. Where possible, we will show you everything in operation - technology you can touch!
