Important news about Hamburg Hackertours and the tours:

EH22: Still places available!

For many of our tours there are still places available at the Hackertours desk! Simply come to the desk (next to the heaven/info/* desk) for the tours on offer.

EH22: Alster steamer boat trip on Day 3, 17:45 + 19:15

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.

EH22: Alternative Harbor Cruise on Day 2, 14:45

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

  • the location of the first emigrant barracks and the living conditions of these people
  • places where people from other countries were employed as workers at various times
  • the accommodation of refugees and how they were treated
  • ships in which stowaways arrived in Hamburg

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.

EH22: Coming soon

We’re almost done preparing for EasterHegg 22. Get excited about nice tours in the most beautiful city in the world!
