Class description
Today, we experience Hamburg as a lively and modern city. But how did it become what it is today? What developments led to this impressive metropolis?
To answer these questions, we take a 2-hour journey through the various phases of Hamburg's history.
Fire, Wars, Catastrophes — Change, Growth, Modernity
From the first settlements in Hammaburg, to the heyday of the Hanseatic League, the devastating Great Fire, the era of colonialism and the industrial revolution — we explore how these events shaped the city of Hamburg
