An explorer's guidebook to more than 80 fascinating and unusual historical locations in Germany's second city. A heady mix of the workaday and the cosmopolitan in the port on the Elbe. Prehistoric stones and wartime bunkers, hidden cellars and unexpected sanctuaries, storied waterways and lonely lighthouses. From Charlemagne's Hammaburg and the Hanseatic League to the Third Reich and the Federal State of Hamburg. Locations include John Lennon's doorway, the world's largest model railway, a floating church, and the English sewers. Also the Unicorn of the Deep, an Arabian princess, a Communist hero, and the Red Brick King. The ideal city guide for travellers who want to escape the crowds and go beyond the well-known paths, as well as for those inhabitants who perhaps thought they already knew their city. Published by The Urban Explorer, these city tales from new and unusual perspectives are aimed at independent cultural travellers.
