Tour description

Moin! I do believe you already know quite a lot about Hamburg! Is here the biggest red light district in Europe? True. Do we have more bridges than any other city in the world? Yes. Is there any connection between Hamburg and hamburgers? Absolutely.

But have you ever heard about the biggest urban development in Europe? Don`t be surprised to find out that it is taking place right here (and now!), in the former harbor of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. It's called HafenCity and this is where we are going to have a wonderful in-depth 2-hours walk together. The secret "city within the city" is a perfect place to study various aspects of North-Germany history, culture, architecture, and their vision of the future.

Here is the carefully designed route for our exploration:

Elbphilharmonie (start of the tour).The role of the "Star Architecture" in the urban context.
Trdlo Factory. Food and the City.
Magellan-Terrassen. Housing in the Future City.
HafenCity University (HCU). Educational hub for Architecture and Metropolitan Development.
HafenCity Aussichtspunkt (end of the tour). 360° viewpoint at the harbor "giraffes" and ambitious ideas of the northern Germans.

I am inviting you to join me for this tour and you will get a lot of knowledge and inspiration from an architect and a real city-lover.
