Hamburg Warehouse ComplexThe world's oldest warehouse complex, built of red brick with
gables and turrets, is a century old and still in use for storing
exotic goods from around the world. Known as the Speicherstadt in
German, this historic section of the Free Port between the
Deichtorhallen and Baumwall has been turned into a tourist
attraction by the addition of an open air theatre, spice museum,
miniature exhibition and an old Russian submarine open for
exploration. Another attraction is the 'Hamburg Dungeon', an
interactive experience showcasing the more unpleasant and gory
aspects of the city's history. The Speicherstadt is illuminated at
night, creating an enchanting spectacle, particularly viewed from a
boat on a harbour night tour. |
