The Gateway to the World
by tini58de
Hamburg is called 'the gateway to the world' and that is what it is:
it is the second biggest town in Germany, very cosmopolitan, but yet it can be quite homely, if you leave the city center! I lived here for 18 years, spent my college years here, made friends and I always enjoy returning 'home'!!
Museum der Arbeit - museum of work
by Airpunk
The Museum der Arbeit (museum of work) is normally not on the "to do" list among Hamburg visitors, but quite interesting anyway. It shows how workplaces have changed through the centuries. The focus lies on sea trade business, fishing, printing and the role of women and men at work. One floor is reserved for special temporary exhibitions.
Audioguides are available in german and english, but written information at the objects is only available in german. The audioguides are included in the entrance fee.
The museum is located in a building which belonged to a fabric complex of the New-York-Hamburger Gummi-Waaren Compagnie, a company which made plastic products. The remaning fabric buildings now form a cultural meeting point, including cafés and places for different kind of events. The museum itself also contains a library focusing on work and society.
To the museum is only a few steps away from Barmbek subway and metro station. Use the exit towards "Wiesendamm" to get to the museum.

Café and Restaurant Eisenstein

Café and Restaurant Eisenstein
This very fine restaurant is successful for some years now - not out of the blue! The polished old factory hall (they used to make ship's propellers) is hosting a colorful crowd every evening. And they say they have the best pizza in town... But be careful! Creditcards are not accepted and it's not some place I'd consider cheap... The restaurant is part of the 'Zeisehahalle' were you find more possibilities to spend a good evening! Italian and International cuisine
Warehouses
by Kuznetsov_Sergey
Severe simplicity of huge warehouses from a red brick and spikes of cathedrals and churches, channels and bridges - all this pleased an eye. Warehouses were constructed in the beginning of the XX-th century. This city of warehouses is the greatest in the world warehouse complex.
