    Tips

    very well maintained trains. Many parking spaces. A good restoration with very friendly staff. In the museum area you should bring a lot of time. There is the possibility of genealogy. Were there emigrants to America in your own family? For children an exciting journey of discovery, if they can get involved. No hassle here.

        The Ballinstadt, own spelling "BallinStadt - the Emigration Museum Hamburg", is an emigration museum in Hamburg-Veddel, inaugurated in 2007, which was built on the place of the former emigration halls. It was built over 100 years after the Hapag shipowner Albert Ballin had the first emigration halls built in 1901. In three faithfully rebuilt buildings, visitors can relive the stories of people who emigrated overseas from here.

        Between 1850 and 1939 Hamburg was the "gateway to the world" for over five million European emigrants who were on the run from political and religious persecution or simply to escape life in poverty and hunger, left the "old world" via Hamburg. In 1901, Hapag general director Albert Ballin had mass accommodation built on the Elbe island of Veddel for thousands of emigrants who arrived in the city every week from all over Europe.
