Hamburg – Sternschanze

A stroll through the coolest district in the city: our tips for the Schanzenviertel You won't find so many 'places to go' in any other part of the city: in the Schanzenviertel, you can enjoy a relaxed coffee on the piazza on Schulterblatt during the day - and then a Caipi & co. in the evening. You can find cool clothes stores in Susannenstraße or Schanzenstraße and of course in the adjacent Karoviertel in Marktstraße. Here are all the places and tips that we introduce to you in this episode: * The piazza on the Schulterblatt stretches along the Schulterblatt, between Susannenstraße and Rosenhofstraße. Here you will find many cafés and bars. * Directly opposite the piazza is the Rote Flora (house number 71). * In this episode, we also recommend the Neuer Pferdemarkt… * … and the adjacent Schlachthof area. There you will find, for example, the Knust concert club (Neuer Kamp 30, https://knusthamburg.de [https://knusthamburg.de]) or the Cohen + Dobernigg bookshop (Sternstraße 4, www.codobuch.de) [http://www.codobuch.de)]. And these tips were contributed by OMR founder Philipp Westermeyer: * Café: Pallas (Neuer Pferdemarkt 13) * Bar: Pepironcino (Wohlwillstraße 49, pepironcino.de) * Store: Mojo Store (Kampstraße 11) * Restaurant: Bullerei (Lagerstraße 34b, bullerei.com) * Favorite street: Beckstraße Did you like this episode?

Hamburg – the green city

Three special parks in Hamburg that we can recommend to you No other city in Germany has as many parks as Hamburg. These include the large, well-known parks such as north of the Alster, the Stadtpark with its own bathing lake and Hamburg's planetarium in the west, the Volkspark, very close to the HSV stadium south of the Elbe, in Wilhelmsburg, the large Inselpark, which was completely redesigned around 10 years ago for the International Garden Show. But in this episode, we introduce you to three parks that are a little more hidden - and have their very own history. Wohlers Park: Norderreihe 2, 22767 Hamburg Baakenpark: Baakenallee, 20457 Hamburg Jenischpark: Baron-Voght-Straße 50, 22609 Hamburg Here are also the links to the museums in Jenischpark that we are talking about in this episode: Jenisch House: https://www.shmh.de/jenisch-haus/ [https://www.shmh.de/jenisch-haus/] Ernst Barlach House: https://www.barlach-haus.de/ [https://www.barlach-haus.de/] Bargheer Museum: https://bargheer-museum.de/ [https://bargheer-museum.de/] Did you like this episode?

Hamburg – the Museum of Arts and Crafts

Three rooms in the "Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe" that you should visit "No exhibition venue in Hamburg is opening up as fearlessly as the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe," wrote the weekly newspaper Die Zeit in May 2024. In fact, the museum right next to Hamburg's main train station continues to cause a sensation: * With its exciting, often very unusual exhibitions on famous designers, social issues or cultures from all over the world. You can find the latest information on the museum's website: https://www.mkg-hamburg.de/ [https://www.mkg-hamburg.de/] * With the sustainability initiative "Elf zu Null", which ten other Hamburg museums have joined in order to make the city's cultural sector more climate-neutral. Find out more: https://www.mkg-hamburg.de/elf-zu-null [https://www.mkg-hamburg.de/elf-zu-null] * With very special rooms: entire ensembles (historic farmhouse parlors, a Japanese teahouse or the Spiegel canteen from the 1960s) are part of the collection and, since 2020, there has been a room on the first floor called "Freiraum" that anyone can use - without paying admission. We introduce you to three rooms in this museum that are worth a closer look and ask Hamburg designer Eva Marguerre from Studio Besau-Marguerre why she gave the foyer of the building very special colors. Here you can find out more about the work of Studio Besau-Marguerre, who also designed the interior of the Elbphilharmonie: https://www.besau-marguerre.de/ [https://www.besau-marguerre.de/] The Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe is located on Steintorplatz in the immediate vicinity of Hamburg Central Station. The museum is open daily except Mondays from 10 am to 6 pm, Thursdays until 9 pm. Did you like this episode? Then please leave us a rating and a comment and follow our podcast!

Hamburg – Old Elbe Tunnel

Why the Old Elbe Tunnel is a masterpiece – and what makes it so romantic The Old Elbe Tunnel is one of the top ten sightseeing destinations in Hamburg. Here you can literally delve deep into the history of the port city: you can walk or cycle from the Landungsbrücken to the other side of the river about 24 meters below the Elbe. Entry is free and possible around the clock: you can access the tunnel either via stairs or elevators. You can see what it sounds like when a 144-piece orchestra plays in the Old Elbe Tunnel in this YouTube video, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdnA_ZijYUI [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdnA_ZijYUI] Did you like this episode?
