What to expect

Experience the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Kontorhäuser up close on a guided tour.

Take a journey back in time to one of Hamburg's most exciting eras. Learn how the city got a radically new face in the 1920s and how the winding Gängeviertel grew up into large Kontorhäuser.

Admire the outstanding Kontorhäuser such as the Laeisz-Hof and the Afrika-Haus. See the Chilehaus, the Sprinkenhof and the Meßberghof and learn more about economic growth and world standing. Listen to stories about contortionists, money counting tables, redneck excavators and clinker stickers, and the city's growing importance as a trading metropolis.

Visit some of the most impressive houses and staircases together with a professional guide and explore the highlights of the Kontorhausviertel, which has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015.

    Unser Guide Monika hat die Gruppe mit sehr viel Fachwissen, Engagement und Begeisterung begleitet. Neben historischen Fakten hat sie auch einige spannende und unterhaltsame Geschichten erzählt, so dass die Tour sehr abwechslungsreich und kurzweilig war. Vielen Dank! Von mir eine volle Empfehlung!

    Toller Guide, sehr freundlich und lockerer Erzählstil mit fundierten Infos und anschaulichem , geschichtlichem Wissen ohne schulmeisterlich rüberzukommen. Hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht und wir haben viel gelernt. Es hat und auf jeden Fall inspiriert weitere Touren zu buchen. Vielen Dank!

    Sehr kompetente und freundliche Führerin (volle Punktzahl) und abwechslungsreich. Persönlich hatte ich mir erhofft, noch etwas mehr von den Büroräumen zu sehen (nicht nur Eingang/Treppenhäuser), gerne natürlich im Chilehaus. Ist aber vielleicht einfach nicht machbar.
