Description

Essentials about the BallinStadt in brief

Over the last two centuries, some five million emigrants have embarked in Hamburg on their journey to the New World. Most of them spent their last days in the emigrant town built especially for this purpose by former Hapag boss Albert Ballin. Today, the Ballinstadt (en. “Ballin Town”), rebuilt according to original plans, houses an interactive emigration museum.

The Auswanderungsmuseum

In three faithfully reconstructed buildings, visitors can relive the stories of people who emigrated from here to overseas. The first house is dedicated to the founder Albert Ballin. House 2 houses the large emigration exhibition, which tells the story of emigration over the centuries. And House 3 tells the exciting biographies of people who have been drawn to far off lands. This building also houses the informative Family Research Center.
