Spicy's Gewürzmuseum

Architecture

Explore Hamburg from new Elbphilharmonie through to the historic Speicherstadt and on to the futuristic Hafencity. Enjoy a guided tour of Elbphilharmonie, this masterpiece of architecture with its abstract front is situated like a crown over the harbor and is the new landmark of the city.  Travel from the Elbphilharmonie to the Kaiser, past the Miniaturwunderland with the world's largest model railway, the old coffee roasting plant and the spice museum to the Magellan Terraces right across the Speicherstadt. Here you will follow in the footsteps of the Hanseatic merchants, the so-called Pfeffersäcken. The cathedral-like inner courtyards on the Dutch Brook make it clear that it was not the church but trade and money that determined everyday life in Hamburg.  After this journey to the past, visit the newest and most modern part of the city, Hafencity. This offers the perfect contrast to the Speicherstadt and shows with sophisticated and environmentally friendly buildings what is architecturally possible today.

Book your entry ticket to Hamburg’s Spicy's Gewürzmuseum and enjoy a free audio guide accessible via an app on your phone or tablet. Experience the world of herbs and spices and taste pepper spice samples and gummy bears. Generously built on an original storage floor, discover the museum’s over 900 exhibits from the last five centuries detailing the history of spices. Learn about the entire production process of a variety of international spices, from cultivation to finished product via antique equipment and machinery.  Put in your headphones to listen to your audio guide as you explore herbs and spices from near and far abroad, partly in containers and partly presented in clay bowls on taster tables. Touch, smell, and taste your way through the diverse collection of spices.

Immerse yourself in the contrasting world of Hamburg, with both its historic Speicherstadt and its new, modern HafenCity. Although the houses of the Speicherstadt were designed by different architects, they present nevertheless a harmonic bigger picture, completed by single buildings with exposed elements. The Speicherstadt was built not aiming not at beauty but convenience. Head over to the HafenCity with its modern, sophisticated architecture that has also spawned impressive buildings. Walk among these interesting buildings and enjoy the maritime flair. The Elbe Philharmonic Hall lies at the end of the HafenCity and Speicherstadt. This exciting and controversial project in Hamburg's HafenCity is an impressive building that began construction in 2007.
