By Duncan J.D. Smith

Book Overview

Explore Hamburg's hidden gems, from wartime bunkers to storied waterways, in this unconventional explorer's guide.

This explorer's guidebook to unusual spots in the port on the Elbe is a heady mix of the workaday and the cosmopolitan in Germany's second city. Prehistoric stones and wartime bunkers, hidden cellars and unexpected sanctuaries, storied waterways and lonely lighthouses. From Charlemagne's Hammaburg and the Hanseatic League to the Third Reich and the Federal State of Hamburg. Locations include John Lennon's doorway, a floating church, the English sewers, and the unicorn of the deep. Also an Arabian princess, the colourful K ppn L hrs, a Communist hero, and the Red Brick King. The ideal city guide for travellers who want to escape the crowds and go beyond the well-known paths, as well as for those inhabitants who perhaps thought they already knew their city. Published by The Urban Explorer, these city tales from new and unusual perspectives are aimed at independent cultural travellers.
