    Krameramtsstuben, next to St.Michaeliskirche takes you back to the old city of Hamburg in 1620. All of these houses were built as living-quaters for the widows of merchants and one of these appartments with old furniture is still shown in the Museum there. Today there are several shops, galleries and a nice restaurant inside that court. You may enter that court freely and without restrictions ! Don't miss the old lift at the first house ( you may see it, when you click on my main picture). There you may see how everything was taken up to the storing-rooms under the roof of the old houses by this special crane...
    Krameramtsstuben is open for the public:
    Tuesday-Sunday 10.00a.m. - 05.00p.m.

    Peterstrasse & the
    Brahmsmuseum
    by globetrott, 4 more photos
    Peterstrasse could be on the first view a really nice example of old, traditional architecture, BUT in fact most of these buildings had been built between 1967 and 1970 by Alfred C.Toepfer. Only a few buildings like Beylingstift (Nr.35-39) date back to the year 1751.
    The famous composer Johannes Brahms used to live in #39 and so there is a museum there about him
    I would wish, that more such buildings would exist in Hamburg. In fact most of the city is quite modern with a lot of glass-architecture. There is also a nice local restaurant with a great interior there : "Der Alte Senator"
    Brahmsmuseum is open for visitors only
    Tuesday & Thursday10.00a.m.-01.00p.m.
    and upon appointment !

    Good art museum with many travellling exhibits, particularly famous for its collection of German romantic art of the 19th century. I was glad to be here to catch a superb exhibit concertning Caspar David Friedrich, one of the pioneers of painterly romanticism. (I have a print of his most famous work, "The Wanderer," hanging in my living room!) The Kunsthalle is the home of "The Wanderer," as well as several other of Friedrich's iconic canvases, and for the exhibit was also able to borrow Friedrich's works from other great collections in Berlin and St. Petersburg.

    The basement of the Kunstalle contains a passageway connecting it to the neighboring Galerie der Gegenwart, a superior collection of contemporary art with special emphasis on modern German masters like Richter and Kiefer. Interesting "installations" - some of them rather silly, perhaps, but others quite creative.

    Old English Lightship (Feuerschiff)
    This is not really a museum. The owner transformed this ship into a bar and restaurant and a jazz programm is offered in the middle of the harbour. A unique place to have a drink.

    Museums: Erotic Art Museum

    Das reizvolle Thema Erotik inspirierte Kunstler von jeher. In allen Kunstarten gab und gibt es erotische Darstellungen. Doch keine andere Kunstform spricht direkter an als Zeichnung und Plastik. Schau-Lust pur, die aber bis in unsere Tage wenigen Privatleuten vorbehalten blieb. Denn fur die Offentlichkeit blieben diese Schatze leider verborgen. Die Idee, solche Kunstwerke einem grosen Publikum vorzustellen, hegte der Initiator Claus Becker. Ganz privates fur jedermann: Was fruher klammheimlich hinter Schloss und Riegel verschwand, intime Boudoirs schmuckte, im Verborgenen bluhte, ist jetzt fur alle zu sehen. Die weltweit groste, offentlich zugangliche Sammlung erotischer Kunst. Welcher Schauplatz eignet sich da besser als der beruhmt-beruchtigte Kiez. In der Bernhard-Nocht-Strase 69 offnete am 11. November 1992 das Erotic Art Museum seine Pforten fur die Offentlichkeit. Mit den Worten der ehemaligen Hamburger Kultursenatorin Dr. Christina Weiss, die lange Zeit sch?tzend ihre Hande uber diese Einrichtung hielt, und der programmatischen Rede von Tomi Ungerer: Geschlecht ist nicht so schlecht. Seine Worte geben dem EAM bis heute die Magna Charta, die Guide-Line vor. Vor diesem Hintergrund erklart sich ubrigens auch die Wirkung des Ungerer-Raumes im EAM: sakrale Atmosphare wie in einer intimen Landkirche.
    1997 zog das Erotic Art Museum dann ans Nobistor.
    Neben der festen Ausstellung hinaus gab es mehr als 60 Sonderausstellung aus den Bereichen erotische Malerei, Comic und Fotografie. Die mehr als zwei Millionen Besucher haben das Museum zu einer festen Institution in Deutschland gemacht.

    Zum 10-jahrigen Geburtstag ging es nun zuruck zu den Wurzeln, an die Grundungsstatte Bernhard-Nocht-Strase 69 (soixante-neuf). Ein Schelm, der sich dabei Boses denkt.

    This is a rather new museum located just opposite the train station Veddel. It is about emigration from Germany to Americas in the 19th and 20th century, in which Hamburg as a harbour town loomed large of course. First Hamburg was not that popular as starting point for emigration. People had to wait for a long time in overcrowded, overpriced accomodations in the city and were maybe already bankrupt before they could leave Germany. There were awful sanitary conditions and epidemic plagues. But then a certain Albert Ballin created the emigration halls in Veddel, a secure accomodation with dormitories, restaurants and even a church. It was like a small town of it´s own for emigrants. These halls were demolished, but some of them rebuilt again for museum purposes.
    You can see a rather interesting exhibition, similar to the one at Cap San Diego. It tells you about the fate of single persons, about the procedures to emigrate, and about daily life in Ballinstadt. You can also do reasearch if your relatives were on board of one of those vessels - this is also possibly under www.ancestry.de. By the way, Mr. Ballin killed himself by the end of WW I using poison.
    Entrance fee is EUR 9,50.

  • If it does not stop raining and you do not want to do something too cultural - this is a perfect fun museum: The "wonderland of miniature" - a model railway or rather model world. Really cute - also for adult children. I loved it and you can spend hours with watching the small pieces going around. It is pretty funny with many cute details - like Santa Clause coming from a toilet in the forest, or a love couple in a field of sunflowers...

    Some facts: more than 500 m² of landscape, about 60,000 trees, same in figures, 5,000 cars, 7,000 meter of tracs, 3,000 houses and bridges, etc. - it is huge!

    Of the classical modernists, Max Beckmann and Oskar 'Kokoschka' dominate along with artists from the 'Brücke' and 'Blauer Reiter' groups
    (Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde, Franz Marc).
    The fascinating work 'Der Goldfisch' by Paul Klee also belongs in this context.

    The new Gallery covers the period following the second major period of upheaval in 20th century art (the first being abstraction in 1910), namely from around 1960. New artistic concepts were introduced, simple, everyday materials were used for the first time, and objects rather than sculptures were created, initially in Pop Art and its European variants, Fluxus and the Nouveaux Réalistes.

    Gallery of 19th century
    Caspar David Friedrich ('Das Eismeer', 'Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer') and Philipp Otto Runge ('Die Hülsenbeckschen Kinder', 'Der Morgen'), which together form an incomparable ensemble highlighting the movement towards subjectivity in painting.
    The Kunsthalle collection contains magnificent groups of works by Max Liebermann ('Die Netzflickerinnen'), Lovis Corinth and Edvard Munch ('Madonna'). and Eduard Manet.

    Gallery of Old Masters
    Dutch seventeenth-century painting is represented by an early Rembrandt work ('Simeon im Tempel'), land- and seascapes by Averkamp, van Goyen, S. and J. Ruisdael, van de Velde and genre paintings by Jan Steen and P. de Hooch.
