tl;dr: everything is working again, please continue using the instant payment bank transfer to pay for your tour bookings.
Unfortunately, we have just found out that although we can see your instant payments in online banking, they are only included in exports and HBCI transfers once they have been credited to our account. And because it’s the weekend, that won’t happen until Monday :-/
We may be able to fix the problem at short notice (Techniker ist informiert), but if not, just show us a transfer confirmation or similar at check-in if you can, and we will of course still take you with us.
Congress is about to start, and we are very excited to welcome you! If you are still eyeing that Hackertour but have not booked yet, here a few helpful hints:
If you have put yourself on the waiting list for a tour, you will receive an email no later than 24 hours before the tour to let you know that a place has become available. You then have one day to book the place, otherwise it will be offered to the next person on the list. We will close the waiting lists no later than one day in advance. Any remaining places will be allocated at check-in on site.
We have managed to secure a cool art project at short notice: the Körperfunk collective invites you to explore walking as a cultural technique in Planten un Blomen and at the CCH: on day 1, 2, and 3 at 6 p.m. each day.
There are also a few remaining spots for these tours:
You can book your tours in the Hackertours Shop now. The first tours are already fully booked, so don’t wait too long!

Any child of the 80s can travel back in time at the Retro Games Museum to C63, Atari, Apple II, Nintendo, and more! About 50 seats have original hardware and software, and you can play! With this ticket, you can enter any time between 1pm and 10pm and plan your own visit.
We have prepared twelve tours for you, take a look: 39C3 Hackertours.
Last year, the Tour of the Giants was in high demand, so this year, we are having it on day 1, 2, and 3. And of course, we cannot miss the Miniatur-Wunderland.
A small but exciting tour let’s you learn about the brand new (sic) electric firetruck, if you manage to show up at CCH on day 3 and 09:30 (German only unfortunately).
We are preparing tours again for 39C3. As soon as we have nailed down the details, we’ll let you know here.

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”.
On this exclusive 90 minute tour starting directly at Kampnagel, we will sail on the Outer Alster, the Inner Alster, and also take a look at some of the canals and tributaries.
Harbor cruise “Hoffnung Hafen” (Harbor of Hope) - migration and racism
On this tour, we will tell you about people who have passed through the “Gateway to the World” in the past and today.
For example, you will see and learn about
We are interested in the reasons for emigration and immigration and the ways in which it took and takes place. You will also learn about how these people are treated in the “cosmopolitan city” of Hamburg.
“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.
The tour illustrates the background to world trade with Africa, Asia and Latin America. It explains why coffee and cocoa have become so cheap, why scrap metal is an export hit and who makes money from the extremely unequal trade between North and South.
Update: There are still places available for some of the HackerTours:
