Overview

We start our walk through Hamburg's Neustadt in front of the Dammtor train station near the ramparts and take a trip to Hamburg's oldest green area.

There in the peaceful urban idyll we explore the military past of this park.

Looking at the urban planning of the 18/19th century and talking about housing emergency once and now.

We will talk about what it took to be a hamburger and to be able to describe ourselves as such.

Looking at the bourgeoisie and its privileges, the arrogance of Hamburg politics.
What about the chances of the rich and poor to rise in 19th century Hamburg.

I tell you about two well-known Hamburgers whose life story could not have been more contrasting.

Have a conversation about Hamburg originals and the story behind these “flagship citizens” with you.

Come with me through the New Town,
to the small town in the big city with all its contrasts.
