Why Choose Hamburg For An Educational Tour?

A global trade hub

Known as Germany’s “Gateway to the World”, Hamburg is the country’s largest port and a hub of global trade. On a guided tour of the port, students can see first-hand how imports and exports work, and how logistics networks connect economies around the world.

The UNESCO-listed Speicherstadt warehouse district is another highlight. Its Gothic-style warehouses and winding canals are a striking backdrop for learning about trade, architecture and urban planning.

A city rebuilt

Part of the medieval Hanseatic League, lucrative maritime trade shaped Hamburg’s early identity, but the devastation of the Second World War forced an almost-complete reconstruction. For your students, there are powerful lessons in conflict, politics, and social change to explore.

St. Nikolai Memorial, bombed by Allied forces during Operation Gomorrah, hosts a museum where your group can reflect on the human cost of war and learn how Hamburg rebuilt itself into a thriving, modern city. 

This is an interesting change of perspective for students. They’re often familiar with the impact of the Blitz, for example, but unaware of the effect Allied bombing campaigns had on German life.
