Guided Story

Look up at the ornate facades of these business buildings. They tell stories from around 1900, a time when Hamburg was a bustling trade hub. Did you know that a part of the city's old fortifications once ran here? Right where you stand, there was once a wall protecting the city from invaders. If you glance northwest, you’ll spot the Bucerius Kunst Forum. It's a great place to find more inspiration after your stroll. And behind you, a bit further, lies the Hygieia Fountain, symbolizing the purity of water. Walking along Alter Wall is like taking a small journey through time, elegantly weaving past and present together.
