How does this activity work?
2 hr walking tour through the Sternschanze, Karoviertel and Gänsemarkt districts.
Walking tour can be scheduled for any date and time.
On this tour, we will walk through some of Hamburg´s most vibrant districts, side streets, parks and bohemian neighborhoods . You'll gain insight into the thriving counter-culture movements that have made Hamburg such a fun, rebellious and fascinating city.
We discuss controversial projects that affect the community, the infamous G20 demos and the history of the famous Rote Flora. You will learn about community protests, gentrification threats and urban art movements. Visit repurposed bunkers, urban gardens and creative hubs. Hamburg has been a victim of gentrification, perhaps more so than any other German city. On this tour we visit some key locations that are fighting to resist this trend and keep alive local lifestyle and alternative culture.
Throughout the tour, you will be introduced to a number of local and international graffiti and street artists. The street and graffiti scenes in Hamburg are unique and we will see many beautiful and interesting examples from graffiti walls, stencil art, mural and 3D installations.
We will also learn about the influence the St Pauli Football club has in shaping the community spirit resulting in many community initiatives, projects and the clubs support for creative arts and the music scene in St Pauli district. We will pass by the Millerntor stadium and an incredible urban greenhouse project adjacent to the thriving Karoviertel and it´s cafe culture.
