Hamburg - The Gateway to the World! Over the Elbe, seagulls screech, ship horns blare in the harbor, cranes unload container ships, and goods from all over the world are loudly touted in the markets. In the Speicherstadt, tasters critically examine the finest coffee varieties, tourists and true Hamburg locals enjoy the party atmosphere on the Reeperbahn, and the elite from the Alster go sailing - right in the middle of the city! The writer Claudia Wuttke explains why she feels most at home within sight of the Michel, TV host Tine Wittler welcomes us to her pub, and Regy Clasen sings her latest hit to us at the kitchen table. Narrators Gabriele Libbach and Peter Heinrich Brix accompany us on a journey of discovery through one of Germany's most exciting cities.
