Hamburg Dungeon

Hamburg Dungeon

Built in 2000, the Hamburg Dungeon is a tourist attraction from a chain including the London Dungeon and York Dungeon. It is the first of this brand to be built in mainland Europe. It provides a journey through Hamburg’s dark history in an actor led, interactive experience. Shows are:

Torture Chamber: A show based on the interrogation of those thought to be smuggling to defy the 18th century Napoleonic invasion.

Great Fire of Hamburg: Visitors have to find their way through the terrible fire that devastated much of Hamburg in 1842.

The Plague: A recreation of the streets of plague ravaged Hamburg street, where the effect the killer disease had in the city in 1664 is animated.

Labyrinth of the Lost: A mirror maze.

The Inquisition: The visitor stands in an Inquisition court where they are accused of sins against God! The punishments are always harsh and the court is unforgiving as some of the darkest moments of the country’s history are played out.

Stortebeker: tells the story of the life of the infamous pirate Klaus Stortebeker who used to plunder the Baltic and North Seas, via a brief video. Visitors are then taken on to a mock pirate ship to help fight in a nautical battle before witnessing the execution of the famous pirate.

Stormflut 1717: Hamburg used to be prone to terrible flooding, with one of the worst being on Christmas Day 1717. Visitors are taken on a boat ride which is designed to look like a small raft to take them through the carnage of the city and to safety.

Cholera 1892: A graphic exhibition and show depicting the cholera epidemic which wiped out over a third of the population of Hamburg.
