We will then continue our tour in the direction of the Elbphilharmonie and admire the great history of the place where this building stands today. We will see how the port developed during industrialization in the 19th century and how the movement of goods was revolutionized in the 20th century. We will immerse ourselves in the Speicherstadt, the red brick canyons and the history of its workers and employers, find out what Westphalia has to do with Hamburg and why workers lived in a castle there. We find out what shipmasters, bargemen, winchmen and coffee pickers actually did and why there are coffee barons and Persians in Hamburg.
