Guided Story
Feel that gentle breeze from the Elbe? It's been a silent witness to some remarkable stories. Look up, and you'll see the clean lines of the Kornhaus, echoing a time when Bauhaus pioneers reshaped the world of design. Imagine the 1920s, when artists and architects gathered here to redefine how design could enhance life. Behind you, the Elbe flows quietly now, but back then, it connected cities and ideas across its waters. And if you glance to your right, you might spot the Christuskirche in the distance, another blend of tradition and modernity. Let the architecture speak to you, and think of the visionaries who once realized their dreams here.
