Description
A city tour through Hamburg's Neustadt, the most expensive building in Hamburg's history, social "justice," and Hamburg clichés.
We'll start our walk through Hamburg's history at the city's first public park.
We'll find out why the ramparts are called ramparts,
when it's actually so flat everywhere in northern Germany.
Get to know a highly sought-after Dutchman of his time.
Then we'll continue our walk, passing Hamburg's only inner-city high-rise.
Let's take a look at what housing densification can lead to, between former flower beds.
Find out what the cosmopolitanism of Hamburg is all about,
but why Neustadt residents should always keep their feet still.
Listen to the life story of two Hamburgers whose stories couldn't be more different.
And why the phrase "get moving!" is to be taken literally in Hamburg.
On our walk through the urban jungle and its district,
we'll embark on a historical journey of discovery through the Neustadt and its green lung.
Dive into all its contrasts.
