Speicherstadt & HafenCity Erlebnistour

Experience the fusion of traditional and modern urban planning on the Speicherstadt and HafenCity adventure tour. We begin at Kehrwiederspitze and explore HafenCity together, internationally renowned for its architectural masterpieces, such as Hamburg's new landmark, the Elbphilharmonie. Next, we head to the traditional ship harbor, from where we approach the breathtaking Speicherstadt. What goods are still stored in these brick warehouses today? Our knowledgeable and friendly tour guides will gladly share fascinating insider information about this important trading center, famous for coffee, tea, and oriental carpets, among other things. During our walk through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Speicherstadt, the world's largest contiguous warehouse complex, we'll also discover the fairytale-like Fleetschlösschen and the most photographed building in Speicherstadt, the Wasserschloss (Water Castle). We'll make a stop at the Speicherstadt Town Hall and admire its exceptional architecture, characterized by typical neo-Gothic brickwork. Finally, we conclude our two-hour tour at the world-famous Chilehaus in the Kontorhausviertel (Office Building District). We guarantee a unique guided tour that blends modernity and World Heritage sites along the canals and their numerous bridges, offering captivating views and glimpses into the past.

St. Pauli Nachtmarkt

Shopping and relaxing have never been so close together! With its late opening times, the St. Pauli night market on Spielbudenplatz has not only adapted to the usual local opening times, but also to the general shopping behavior of our time.

The St. Pauli night market is no ordinary weekly market. It is right in the heart of the Reeperbahn on Spielbudenplatz and, with its late opening hours (4 p.m. to 11 p.m.), has not only adapted to the usual local opening times, but also to the general shopping behavior of our time. The directly attached beer garden with its live music stage also makes our weekly market an "after work" meeting place and offers residents and visitors an unforgettable shopping and enjoyment experience. The normal local supply of fresh food from the region is excellently combined with a relaxed end to the day.

Note: During the Reeperbahn Festival or the Santa Pauli Christmas Market, the St. Pauli Night Market moves to the Reeperbahn, at the Boutique Bizarre level.

Symphoniker Hamburg / Josef Špaček / Adam Hickox

Musical works that raise questions, reveal secrets and may not provide answers, but open the heart with their intensity. A concert programme that is not least about doubt and searching, but above all about the joy of being able to ask questions – this is what the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra presents in its last concert before Christmas.
The concert opens with Charles Ives’ visionary work »The Unanswered Question«, in which a lonely trumpet poses its questions to the room while strings and woodwinds lose themselves in different dimensions. A piece that has been regarded as a musical metaphor for the search for meaning since its creation. This is followed by Leonard Bernstein’s Serenade after Plato’s »Symposium«, a passionate musical exploration of the great ideas about love. The demanding solo part is performed by violinist Josef Špaček, a welcome guest with the symphony orchestra and celebrated for his flawless technique and expressive playing.

The concert concludes with Edward Elgar’s famous »Enigma Variations« – a work full of personal dedications, hidden messages and orchestral splendour. Between British humour and deeply felt introspection, the music unfolds, preserving its mysteries while touching the listener directly. Under their former principal conductor Jeffrey Tate, who died in 2017, the symphony orchestra regularly devoted itself to music from the United Kingdom – a tradition they are happy to continue today. British conductor Adam Hickox, who combines analytical clarity with passionate energy in his interpretations, makes his concert debut with the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra with this multi-layered programme.

Symphoniker Hamburg / Lunch Concert

Classical music is seldom experienced in such a relaxed, informal way. The Symphoniker Hamburg’s lunch concerts make it possible: On a flying visit to Hamburg? A little time in your lunch break? Looking for an idea for a joint outing? Every one or two months, on a Tuesday lunchtime, you can just drop in at the Brahms Foyer of the Laeiszhalle. You don’t even need a ticket for the chamber music treats. Admission is free, but seating is limited. There is only a donation box at the exit – for those who enjoyed it.

The programmes are varied, with new insights into music history to be gained at each concert. Word has spread about the attractiveness of the half-hour concerts: Coming early ensures seats. The lunch concerts always begin at 12:30, but the doors at the main portal of the Laeiszhalle are already open from 11:30. Then the friendly staff of the Laeiszhalle catering will also be ready to sell light food and drinks.

Tabaluga oder die Reise zur Vernunft - Theater 47

A lovingly arranged musical adventure in 11 scenes, suitable for ages 4 and up.
based on an idea by Peter Maffay, Gregor Rottschalk and Rolf Zuckowski
Directed by Uwe Ehlebracht - (Musik-Edition Discoton GmbH, Berlin)

Tabaluga, the little dragon, is sent on a journey by his father Tyrion to find reason. All the children are, of course, supposed to help.

They will encounter many strange companions such as the ant queen, the frog Abraxos, the giant Grykolos, the tree of life, the sea turtle Nessaja and many others who will show them what is truly important in life.

The well-known songs, such as "Ich möchte nie erwachsen sein" (I never want to grow up), which were conceived, designed and written by Peter Maffay, Rolf Zuckowski and Gregor von Radowitz, can be sung along to loudly.

"Theater 47" looks forward to welcoming all children, both big and small, and their companions.
