8 Historic Sites in Hamburg That You Shouldn't Miss

November 23, 2021 Natalie Tallman

Second only to Berlin in size and population, the city of Hamburg is home to one of the biggest harbors in Europe. A stroll along its many waterways and canals illustrates why it has been called the "Venice of the North." Don't miss a trip to the local fish market (Fischmarkt), the Merchants District (marked by its imposing red-brick architecture), a fine dining experience along the river or a night out in the university quarter. And did we mention the Reeperbahn (red light district)? It's quite famous for its… red lights.

St Nikolai Memorial

St. Nikolai Memorial is Hamburg’s most important memorial dealing with the war and its dictatorship during 1933-1945. The original main church was destroyed in the air raids on Hamburg in 1943. In the church ruins a museum reminds us of the disastrous air war over Europe. It questions the impact of war in former as well as in present times and deals with aspects of the memories of the victims of World War II. A glass elevator takes visitors up the fifth highest church tower in the world. A viewing platform at 76 metres overlooks the harbour, the Alster lakes and Hamburg’s city centre. Historical photos of past destruction add up to the impressions. Our program offers discussions in current events, supports research on German history and promotes international peace movements/ peace and understanding of nations.

This is a very sensitively done memorial, showing the life of people in Hamburg in 1933-1945, as well as the RAF bombing raids and Hamburg firestorm of 1943. A reminder of what horrible things people could do and how bad nationalism and a sense of one nation being above others can be. The view of Hamburg from the surviving spear is spectacular.

Wasserkunst Kaltehofe

The Wasserkunst Elbinsel Kaltehofe is the open slow sand filtration plant of the former waterworks Kaltehofe. The historical site with a total of 22 filter basins supplied Hamburg from 1893 till 1990 with clean and pathogenfree drinking water. Today the plant is listed as an industrial monument that also spots an impressive biodiversity as nature reconquered the area after the closure of the water works.

Directly on the Reeperbahn lies probably the most famous police district of Hamburg. Around the architecturally great building is always hustle and bustle. Again and again TV recordings. Always worth a photo ...
