Der achtsame Tiger

A family musical by Martin Lingnau and Heiko Wohlgemuth

Is the tiger dangerous? A truly wild predator? What nonsense – the attentive tiger finds this description quite inappropriate. After all, he has his paws full helping his animal friends! He takes us into his colorful, mysterious world and shows us what a day in real tiger life looks like: He explains to the little elephant what a coco-moro-angana-vocado-citrusine is. He reveals his secret tiger trick to the boa constricted with stress. He helps the crocodile finally become braver, relieves the exhausted parrot from brooding, and has a relaxed time with the sloth. Because at the end there is a happy jungle party, together with all the friends, of course. Roaaar!

For their latest production, musical makers Martin Lingnau and Heiko Wohlgemuth—arguably the most successful authors of this genre in German-speaking countries—were inspired by a wonderful bestseller for children: With surprising ideas, a generous dose of wordplay, and plenty of music, they transform "The Mindful Tiger," the 2019 Children's Book of the Year by Przemysaw Wechterowicz and Emilia Dziubak, into a whirlwind musical romp set in a magnificent setting that enchants young and old alike. Directed by Carolin Spieß, who, in addition to "The Christmas Bakery," has already brilliantly staged numerous Schmidt children's productions, such as "The Robber Hotzenplotz and the Moon Rocket" and "Little Störtebeker."

“The Mindful Tiger” – a fun family musical with ten catchy songs, wonderful costumes and puppets, and a tiger-strong message that comes on silent paws.

The project's patron is Rolf Zuckowski: "'The Mindful Tiger' is sure to bring you a lot of joy. It takes you on an exciting, fun, and even educational visit to the jungle, and you'll be surprised that a tiger can be completely different from what you previously thought. I wish you lots of fun!"

Die Sammlung des Deutschen Hafenmuseums

You can literally walk through the permanent exhibition of the German Port Museum by walking around the grounds. The exhibits inside the 50s shed are rather small compared to the floating exhibits or the cranes on the quay, but of course they are all equally important for learning about the port's history.

The first large machines from the early days of the container are on display in the open air: van carriers that were developed to transport the "boxes" to the terminals. How this works is regularly demonstrated. The large gantry cranes that once handled the transfer between the ship and the shed line the Bremen quay.

The barge steam suction vessel SAUGER IV from 1909 and the floating steam crane SAATSEE from 1917 are accessible via the pontoon system . Both large objects have steam systems that are put into operation one weekend a month. The work of the barge driver and life on board are shown in an exhibition on the Hamburg box barge H 11347 from 1913.

In the show depot in shed 50A, visitors can find information about goods from all over the world, ship models or the historical development of the port facilities.

The PEKING is the first visible object in the collection of the German Port Museum. The four-masted barque is one of the last large cargo ships that could still compete with steam and machine ships at the beginning of the 20th century due to its speed, safety and precision. The ship served as a transport ship for saltpeter from Chile, which was in high demand at the time.

The listed BLEICHEN, which is owned by the Hamburg Maritim Foundation, represents an entire generation of cargo ships.

Disneys DER KÖNIG DER LÖWEN

Disney's THE LION KING is much more than a musical, it is a work of stage art, a creative firework of emotions. The exceptional production enchants with breathtaking masks, fantastic costumes and unforgettable sounds - a mixture of pop music by Sir Elton John and original African rhythms. Julie Taymor created a completely independent stage work from the successful Disney animated film. The successful production has thrilled audiences and critics around the world since its premiere in New York in 1997 and has received over 70 international awards. Since 2001, Disney's THE LION KING has been breaking all visitor records in Hamburg, the only German venue, with 14 million guests.

Disney's THE LION KING tells the story of the lion king Simba with brilliant creativity and is a fable about the eternal circle of life: It's about fears and happiness, love and responsibility towards others, growing up and the search for your own place in life. Disney's THE LION KING takes you on a journey to the colorful world of Africa.
