Last Look at Hamburg

Around 1900, thousands of people waited in Albert Ballin's emigrant city on the Veddel for their crossing. For most of them, Hamburg was the last piece of Europe they ever saw. HAPAG's ships took them to America.

Ballin's emigrant halls housed up to 5,000 people, with dining halls, a hospital, a church and a synagogue. Everyone was medically checked here so that nobody would be turned away in New York. Today the BallinStadt museum tells their story.

To complete the Challenge …

At the Landungsbrücken, re-enact the moment of farewell. Part of the team boards, the rest stay behind, everyone with what they would take for a new life. Take a photo that could have been taken in 1900.
