Overview

Discover the soul of Germany's gateway to the world. It is a deep dive into the paradox of Hamburg – a city where the church served the harbor, where beautiful architecture veiled brutal hard labor, and where the scent of coffee and spices once mingled with the smoke of industry. From the spiritual heights of the 'Michel' to the underground depths of the Elbe tunnel, we follow the red thread of trade that transformed a medieval merchant city into a modern cultural metropolis. Come and discover the secrets of the free port, the tragedy of the Great Fire, and the hidden machinery behind the world's largest warehouse city.
