About this experience

This walking tour begins at the Dammtor train station and leads through Hamburg's Neustadt, focusing on the city's oldest green area. Participants will explore the military history of the park and discuss urban planning from the 18th and 19th centuries, including past and present housing challenges. The tour examines what it means to be a Hamburger, highlighting the privileges of the bourgeoisie and the disparities between rich and poor in 19th century Hamburg. Stories of two notable Hamburgers with contrasting life paths will be shared, along with a discussion about local figures known as 'flagship citizens.' This experience is suitable for those interested in history and urban studies. It may not be ideal for individuals seeking a fast-paced tour, as it involves a leisurely stroll with in-depth discussions.
