Destination: The Future Hamburg’s BallinStadt

Destination: The Future Hamburg’s BallinStadt – the last stop for European emigrants to the U.S.

From 1850 to 1934, five million Europeans abandoned their countries, leaving through Hamburg’s port. The majority of them went to the United States. A new museum in Hamburg documents the final hours of these emigrants’ time at BallinStadt. It even shows the complete passenger manifests in the exhibit – as well as on the Internet.
