Guided Story
Feel the gentle sway beneath your feet? That's the heartbeat of the Alexander von Humboldt, whispering its tales to you now. Turn around and look up at those towering masts. They've weathered many winds and countless adventures. Did you know this ship was once a floating lighthouse? As the lightship 'Reserve Sonderburg,' it lit the way for countless others over a century ago. Later, as a training ship, it launched young people on their own journeys of discovery. Imagine those young sailors working the deck, wind in their hair, eyes set on the horizon. And today, you can become part of this story as you walk the planks and take in the view of nearby landmarks like the Martinikirche, just a short stroll away.
