Tips

ZEIT WISSEN

August 8, 2017

It all began on Cathedral Square, named after the Old Mariendom, which was demolished in 1805. The Hammaburg was built here from around 800, which had nothing in common with its stone cousins of the High Middle Ages: a collection of huts protected by wooden palisades. However, the huts were conveniently located. At the southern end of the square, where Große and Kleine Reichenstrasse merge, traders' flatboats landed in Hamburg's first port. At that time, shipping traffic on the Elbe already reached as far as today's Dresden. At the northeast end of the square, under the Dat Backhus bakery, there are still remains of a later city gate that overlooked Steinstrasse, the trade route to the east. Archaeologists suspect that its construction was similar to the famous Holsten Gate in Lübeck.

There's actually nothing to add to this, just a note about the Old St. Mary's Cathedral.

If you stand on this square, you are in the nucleus of Hamburg. You can hardly believe it.

The Hammaburg is a Niederungsburg built in the early Carolingian period, from which derives the name of Hamburg. Traditionally, the establishment is classified in the context of Carolingian politics in the northeastern border region and dated to the early 9th century. After archaeological excavations in January 2014 it was announced that the site of the castle today Domplatz at the Speersort could be detected. In addition, it was found that the castle earlier than previously thought, namely in the 8th Century originated.
