Guided Story
Imagine standing here in 1860, surrounded by bustling harbor activity, with ships arriving full of goods from distant lands. The crane towering above you, a marvel of engineering, was the centerpiece of this vibrant trade. Look up and picture the heavy loads it once lifted. Behind you, if you turn, you might catch a glimpse of the Liebfrauen Church's silhouette. Both the church and the crane have witnessed centuries of change. What stories could this crane tell? Perhaps tales of the first steamships docking, or the hardworking individuals whose livelihoods depended on this very spot. Let yourself be swept away by the rich history that surrounds you here.
