Detailed itinerary

The energy bunker in Wilhelmsburg is an impressive example of sustainable urban development. Originally built as a World War II bunker, it has become a symbol of change and the energy transition. Today it houses an innovative power generation facility that uses renewable energy.

The energy bunker produces electricity and heat from solar energy and biomass. There are solar panels on its roof that generate clean electricity. In addition, biomass is burned in a combined heat and power plant to generate additional energy. This sustainable energy supply covers part of the needs of the surrounding buildings and contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions.

The bunker itself has been transformed into an architectural masterpiece.

Stop 2

The old Elbe tunnel in Hamburg is a historic landmark that takes visitors back in time. It was opened in 1911 and was a technical masterpiece at the time. Today the tunnel is not only a transport connection between the banks of the Elbe, but also a popular tourist attraction. With its cast-iron stairs and charming flair, the tunnel exudes nostalgic charm. A walk under the Elbe offers a unique view of the passing ships and the hustle and bustle on the water.

Stop 3

The Hafencity in Hamburg is a modern and dynamic district that combines architectural beauty and urban diversity. Hafencity attracts locals and visitors alike with its futuristic skyline, sleek residential buildings and stunning public spaces. Here you will not only find ultra-modern office buildings, but also cultural institutions, gastronomic highlights and a lively harbor promenade.

Stop 4

The Speicherstadt in Hamburg is an architectural jewel and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With its distinctive red brick facades and winding waterways, it is one of the largest historic warehouse complexes in the world. The Speicherstadt stretches along the Elbe and is famous for its warehouses, which were once used to store spices, coffee and tea.

Today, the Speicherstadt is home to a fascinating mix of museums, galleries, restaurants and shops. Here you can explore the history of the Hanseatic city, admire contemporary art, enjoy first-class cuisine or buy souvenirs. The Speicherstadt is also home to Miniatur Wunderland, one of Germany's most popular tourist attractions, where you can admire a detailed miniature world.
