Exploring Hamburg

Street by Street, District by District.

A city learned on foot

After living in Hamburg for more than 10 years, and still only knowing a small part of the city, I decided in 2015 to explore every district completely.

I travel with my camera and a map all 109 districts of Hamburg – as complete as possible, mostly by foot.
