Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte

The Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte invites you to discover Hamburg's rich history – from medieval artifacts to modern cultural objects.

Special highlights include Olivia Jones's wig, a barstool from the famous Star-Club where the Beatles once played, and a human skull from a medieval execution site.

As part of the '400 Years of Reeperbahn' project, guided tours and exhibitions explore the fascinating connection between craftsmanship, urban development, and the origins of the district.

The museum also preserves Hamburg's club culture with digital 3D scans of legendary club rooms.

In the 'My Hamburg!' project, everyone is invited to share their personal stories and diverse experiences with the city.

Historical paintings and architectural photos additionally document key events such as the Great Fire of 1842 and Hamburg's urban development in the 19th century.
