Ahoi - as we say on Sankt Pauli and the Port of Hamburg. A new rum is in town and it’s a hommage to Sankt Pauli, one of the most famous districts of Hamburg and it’s people, who have shaped this district for decades. AHOI rum, as dark as the dirt under the fingernails of the Dockers - as cute as the nightlife on Sankt Pauli.

02.08. THURSDAY Recommendation: Enjoy the Reeperbahn on your own hAFEMcI
The Reeperbahn is a living legend – once a seedy red-light quarter for seafarers and ne’er-do-wells, then during the 1960s and 1970s, a springboard for pop culture and the Beatles of the Wirtschaftswunder, but also a deeply Germanic El Dorado for stolen moments of fleeting, uninhibited sex tourism.
Yet since the 1990s, the red-light district has been transformed into something quite different – offering drinking and clubbing en masse alongside art galleries, cabarets and theatres, established theatres, gaudy palaces for musicals and even classy restaurants.

03.08. FRIDAY Elbphilharmonie Plaza tour with panorama view over the city & UNESCO World Heritage hAFEMcI 11:00 A.M.
A bold glass structure is rising above the historic Kaispeicher A, a monumental redbrick block at the western tip of HafenCity Hamburg. An architectural vision has become reality – the Elbphilharmonie concert hall is Hamburg’s new cultural landmark. The design by Swiss star architects Herzog & de Meuron combines tradition and modernity just where the Hanseatic city is at its most authentic: directly on the water and in the heart of the city.
The Speicherstadt is the world's largest historic warehouse complex. It extends over 26 hectares in the heart of Hamburg’s port and comprises 17 building complexes in the style of Gothic red-brick, with more than
HAMBURG PRESS TRIP 02.08.-05.08.2018
300,000 m2 of storage area. High-value goods such as coffee, tea, cocoa, spices, tobacco, and, in recent decades, oriental carpets, have been stored behind the thick walls of these warehouses. In addition to its architectural highlights, tourism venues such as the Hamburg Dungeon, the Speicherstadtmuseum and the Miniatur Wunderland – the world's largest miniature railway – make the Speicherstadt one of Hamburg’s tourism hotspots.
Situated just opposite, the Kontorhaus District in the south of Hamburg's old town went down in architectural history as Continental Europe’s first business district. The ensemble is built in the 1920s and 1930s under the baton of Fritz Schumacher. The Chilehaus, which is reminiscent of a ship's bow, represents the most significant artistic and architectural achievement of German Brick Expressionism. It strongly influenced brick architecture of the 1920s and 1930s in Northern Europe and is also one of Germany’s first high-rise buildings.
