Hamburg Dungeon
An immersive theatre of horrific history set in the Speicherstadt warehouses, where live actors bring Hamburg's fires, pirates and plagues to life.
The Hamburg Dungeon is set in the old warehouses of the Speicherstadt and presents 600 years of Hamburg's dark history as immersive theatre. Actors lead visitors through more than a dozen scenes, including the trial of the pirate Störtebeker, the Great Fire of 1842, the cholera outbreak and religious trials, and there is also a drop ride. The full experience lasts about 90 minutes. Performances are mainly in German, though some sessions are in English. Tickets cost about €25–30 and are cheaper when booked online. Not suitable for children under 10.
