Speicherstadt Museum

This museum provides an excellent explanation about how the warehousing district evolved as a result of the unification of Germany under Bismarck, after which Hamburg was no longer a Free City therefore warehousing had to be concentrated within the Free Port. There are English explanations of each exhibit, which are shorter than those in German, however they are sufficient to understand what the museum is about. More detailed explanations in English are available on demand.

This is a fabulous little museum, not that easy to find. For just 4.50€ you learn all about the history of the whole area and what the key products were through the ages. There is even an iPad commentary in English to help, though it’s all pretty self-explanatory.

Hamburg is a warehouse city, formerly a warehouse, now adapted into an artistic category, the enemy here to take pictures particularly beautiful, and, if possible, you can also come here to paint some things, when there were a lot of young people here to create

The Freeport district of Hamburg Warehouse City is a red brick building and has always been regarded as a symbol of the unity of Hamburg and the German Empire. This complex, built in the late 19th century, is the largest and oldest warehouse complex in the world, with an area of 300,000 square meters.
