Hamburg & Neuengamme

Enjoy an enlightening drive through Hamburg and, as a contrast, a sobering visit to the notorious Neuengamme Concentration Camp. During World War II, more than 100,000 people endured horrific conditions at the camp while being forced to work in its brickworks. Your guided inside visit will focus on the exterior exhibition, where most buildings do not exist anymore and the House of Remembrance, where the names of the prisoners that died are written on white fabric banners. During your time for individual exploration of the memorial, you can visit the interior exhibition in a former barack. It will be a moving experience and a revealing look into the Nazi indset. Although much of Hamburg was destroyed in the war, it was beautifully rebuilt, as you will discover by passing landmarks such as, the modern HafenCity District, the opulent 647-room town hall and the Gothic-style warehouse district Speicherstadt. You will also see, the enormous Baroque church St. Michaelis and the Reeperbahn entertainment district, where the Beatles played long before they became famous.
