Hamburg Dungeon

Hamburg Dungeon is a museum in HafenCity where history comes alive through staged scenes and professional actors. Visitors move through different areas, stepping into dramatized moments from the city's past.

The museum was founded in 2000 and focuses on events that shaped Hamburg, including plague and devastating floods. These moments are reconstructed with historical details to show how they changed life at the time.

Performers embody figures from Hamburg's past and draw visitors into stories about trade, crime, and life at sea. These performances show how the city keeps its history alive through everyday performance.

The museum is open daily and offers different areas to explore at your own pace. Most visitors should allow enough time to experience all scenes fully and watch the performers.

The museum includes a reconstructed boat ride that recreates historical flood disasters and physically involves visitors in the event. This makes the experience more than watching and helps visitors understand what people endured.
