History Museums in Hamburg

#1

The Emigration Museum Hamburg (BallinStadt) is a former halfway house/temporary shelter in the Port of Hamburg, where millions of European emigrants stayed before making their journey to the Americas. The buildings were destroyed by the Nazis in 1934, but were later rebuilt true to their original form in the early 2000s. Today it serves as a permanent museum exhibition memorializing the millions who passed through on the way to the New World.

Dive into the world of spices On about 350 square meters, you can follow the entire processing process in Spicy's Spice Museum from cultivation to the finished product using antique equipment and machines. Generously built on an original storage floor, we show well over 1000 exhibits from the last five centuries that tell the story of spices. Partly in containers, as they come from near and far abroad, partly presented in clay bowls on taster tables, all herbs and spices can be touched and smelled. But the Spicy's is much more than just a spice museum… It offers you complete event programs, whether you are looking for something for your family or company party or just want to make a nice evening for two… bookable for both groups and private persons.
