Guided Story

As you stand here in Jacobipark, you're surrounded by a piece of Hamburg's history. This green space is not just a park; it's a living monument. Take a look around: the preserved tombstones and vaults tell the story of two former cemeteries. One belonged to Hamburg's main church, St. Jacobi, and the other to the Evangelical Church community of Hamm. These sites are preserved like a museum, inviting reflection on times past. While you explore the pathways, you might catch sight of the Osterkirche to the north. It's a small haven of peace in the bustling district of Eilbek.
