Guided Story

Imagine standing at one of Europe's most significant migration hubs. Right here, at the German Emigration Center, you can explore the lives of those who left everything behind to start anew across the seas. Did you know that over seven million people departed from here between 1830 and 1874? Look to your left, where the impressive Climate House building stands. It serves as a reminder of how closely climate and migration are sometimes linked. If you walk a bit further to the Emigrant Memorial, you'll feel the dreams and hopes of those emigrants come alive. A visit to this museum is like a journey through time, allowing you to walk in the footsteps of these brave individuals.
