Go on an exciting journey and experience the history of immigration and emigration over four different periods in the emigration museum BallinStadt Hamburg. In a total of three houses on 2,500 square meters, you will accompany people with all their wishes and dreams on their way to a new home. Get to know Albert Ballin, the founder of the emigration halls in Hamburg at that time, and follow in the footsteps of your ancestors in the BallinStadt family research center.
At a historical location, the emigration museum BallinStadt Hamburg focuses on emigration via Hamburg (1850 - 1934) as well as the development of migration over four epochs. Always accompanied by human longings, fates, and stories. The reasons for migration are still timeless today. Escape from war, hunger and persecution or simply the desire for adventure, curiosity and the dream of a new (better) life are then as now the impetus for emigration and thus also immigration.
