Overview
This 60-minute guided tour focuses on Hamburg City Hall as a "picture book of the city". Together we will read the façade, figures and allegories as a political self-image of the city: What virtues does Hamburg display? Who is remembered? What role do figures play as symbols of power, order, freedom or prosperity? And what does this building tell us about civic pride, history and representation?
Instead of a classic tour of the town hall, we take a closer look. We do not enter the town hall, but concentrate on the façade, its figures, the architectural details as well as the stock exchange and the inner courtyard (if accessible). The aim is to find out what story the town hall tells before you even set foot inside.
