400 Jahre Reeperbahn - Die ganze Tour

Following in the Footsteps of the Rope Makers through Neustadt and St. Pauli: Before the street names even existed, the craft was alive and well – long before St. Pauli became the entertainment district it is today. In 1626, this trade, so vital to sailing ships, had to make way for a major city expansion, moving outside the new city walls to the then-undeveloped "Hamburger Berg" – and remaining there for more than 250 years. Eva Decker and Dominik Kloss, with their expert historical perspective, will explain what happened to the rope makers and their surroundings in the interim, before, and after this period, on this three-hour walking tour around the Millerntor Guardhouse, organized for the Museum of Hamburg History. A short break will be taken at the old Millerntor Guardhouse after the first half of the tour. Meeting point: Millerntor Guardhouse, Millerntorplatz 20, 20359 Hamburg. Recommended for adults and young people aged 14 and over. Here you can find Part 1 of the tour. Here you can find Part 2 of the tour.

A Nail to Hang the Day On

Embedded within even the most basic household item is an emotional charge that binds it to the lives of those who use it, far exceeding the function of the object itself. Habit, trauma, fantasy, desire, or memory lodge themselves into our belongings, and the cold surfaces of a toaster or a cutting board transform, become abstract, and fossilise over time, from possessions into something else. The less directly useful an object slowly becomes, the more it accumulates meaning, specificity, and identity—and a broken chair can sometimes mean and matter more than a new one.

Adjiri Odametey Trio: Eklonko

Adjiri Odametey Trio - Eklonko
African world music

Singer-songwriter Adjiri Odametey's trademark is his warm, earthy voice. The multi-instrumentalist is a master of instruments such as the thumb pianos mbira and kalimba, kora, balafon, and guitar, and is considered one of the most impressive representatives of African music today. Adjiri Odametey first gained recognition with the title track of his debut album, "Mala." Now, with his trio "Ekonklo," he presents his latest, fourth album.

Adjiri Odametey grew up in Accra, the capital of Ghana, a city where people of diverse ethnicities have always cultivated their musical traditions. Even in his youth, his international tours exposed him to a wide range of styles – including Western music – which would later influence his compositions. As a member of bands like the Pan African Orchestra, he recorded their debut album, "Opus 1," at Peter Gabriel's legendary Real World Studio. Odametey forged his own unique style, always mindful of his West African roots.

The press writes about him: “His life is a prime example of the possibilities of cultural clash. His interest in both traditional African and modern Western influences provides a rich foundation upon which his unique music is built.” As an ambassador of authentic African music, he effortlessly achieves crossover success.

Occupation:
Adjiri Odametey (Lead Vocals, Guitar, Mbira, Kalimba, Kora, Percussion)
Lantey Lankai (backing vocals, cajon, percussion)
Jack Wonya (backing vocals, bass, kalimba, percussion)

Akosua Viktoria Adu-Sanyah – Residual Sky Under Contamination

A new generation of photographic artists is currently engaging with analog color photography in an experimental and expansive way, exploring its sensitive surfaces and activating its emotional frequencies. In this process, the darkroom is more than just a place of photographic production: it becomes a space of reflection where experiences, relationships, and memories are processed, transformed, and made tangible while still latently visible.
