Familienführung - Der Hafen für Kinder

Why are the merchants' houses in the water? What's in the Speicherstadt warehouses? What is an English toilet and how does the huge ship get into dry dock?

We answer these and many other questions about the port on the varied city tour from the historic Deichstrasse to the jetties on the Elbe. We also see the Speicherstadt, the Hafencity and the Elbphilharmonie and visit the Old Elbe Tunnel. We explain the diverse port world with pictures, spices and stories.

A city tour including a short ferry ride for children (6-12 years) accompanied by adults (HVV card required).

Festival of Lights in der Speicherstadt

Have you ever seen the entire facade of a historic warehouse block transformed into a canvas?

For three evenings, the storage block P (Neuer Wandrahm 1 – 4) becomes the canvas for its own history.

Together with the "Festival of Lights" and the monument preservation authority, HHLA is having the history of the Speicherstadt and the Kontorhaus district artistically projected onto the block.

A magical and unique experience.

The projections will run on all three evenings (September 18th - 20th) from 8 p.m. to midnight. Feel free to stop by anytime.

The best view is from the promenade in front of the building or opposite on the footpath at the "Zippelhaus"

Feuer der Begegnung und Freude - Tänze aus Kolumbien

The dance group Viva Candela will dance for us once again. With their fiery energy, passion, and sense of connection, they will infect us and bring light into the darkness of our everyday lives and the surroundings of St. Mary's Cathedral.

Finsternis ist wie das Licht: Wohin führt uns KI?

What is AI and its contribution to knowledge and insight? Does it shed light on the darkness? And does it shed the true or important light on the darkness? How can we prevent it from hallucinating? How does AI work and to what extent does it imitate our human structures and even go beyond them? What are its opportunities and limitations? Insights are offered from the perspective of a researcher and user of machine learning in particle physics and a neuropsychologist and tech start-up founder for AI content. As Basswald & Lichtung, Katrin Bethge - overhead projections and John Eckhardt - turntables create an archaic, synesthetic adventure of light and sound. Dr. Jonathan Mall, neuropsychologist and AI tool developer and Prof. Dr. Gregor Kasieczka, Professor of Machine Learning in Particle Physics at the University of Hamburg and part of the Quantum Universe Cluster of Excellence, give an impulse from their respective fields and then discuss with Prof. Dr. Dr. Klaas Huizing, Chair of Ev. Theology Würzburg, and Prof. Dr. Hauke Heekeren, President of the University of Hamburg (asked), Prof. Dr. Christian Schwanenberger, senior scientist at DESY and professor at the University of Hamburg, and Pastor Frank Engelbrecht.

Fischmarkt am Donnerstag

Between the Große Elbstraße and the Altonaer Fischmarkt there are all kinds of culinary delights to be discovered on Thursdays too. Local residents and guests can buy fresh and delicious food here.

Fischmarkt Hamburg

The fish market in Hamburg is legendary and almost a must for every visitor to Hamburg: Since 1703, pretty much everything that isn't nailed down has been traded here.

Every Sunday morning the fish market attracts visitors to the Elbe. Everyone will find what they are looking for, as almost everything is sold here: from lush fruit baskets, fresh fish or plastic bags full of sausages to porcelain, textiles and entire jungles of green plants.
