Emigrants' Hamburg, 1900
At the height of mass emigration and imperial trade, Hamburg in 1900 is a working port of brick warehouses, steamship masts and crowded quays. This walk follows the river from the Elbe approaches through the Landungsbrücken and Speicherstadt to the Rathaus and the Alster, showing liners, emigration halls, warehouse canyons and the city's civic centre.
35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Hamburg as it stood in 1900 (“History of Hamburg”).
