Description
Can you hear the creaking of the old wooden floors?

Welcome to the Speicherstadt, where every brick has a story to tell.
What can you expect on this tour?
As we stroll through the neo-Gothic brick buildings, I'll tell you about the brave visionaries who created this architectural marvel. You'll learn why the warehouses are on tree piles, who the "neighborhood people" were, and what dramatic stories are hidden behind the imposing facades.
I'll teach you Low German terms that have echoed through these alleys for generations and reveal the origins of proverbs you use every day. From the golden years of the spice trade to the dark hours of World War II to the present day, the Speicherstadt has a lot to offer.
