Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte

The Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte is a history museum that tells the story of Hamburg from the early days of Hammaburg Castle in the 7th century to present-day. The museum's permanent exhibits guide visitors through medieval Hamburg, the city's rise to power as a member of the Hanseatic League, and its development into a modern port city. The museum also features exhibits on various topics such as Jewish life in Hamburg, emigration to the Americas, bourgeois life in the city, and fashion throughout the centuries. The building itself is a masterpiece by renowned architect Fritz Schumacher and has become an important part of Hamburg's history. The museum's courtyard, which was damaged during the Great Fire of Hamburg in 1842, was fully restored in 1995 and features a glass dome
