City Walks
On this city tour through downtown, we explore how publishers and editors like Axel Springer, Rudolf Augstein, Henri Nannen, and Gerd Bucerius managed to establish themselves after World War II and made the city of Hamburg the press metropolis in Germany. What role did the liberal milieu of the city play in this?What were the consequences of the Spiegel affair in 1962 and the student protests in 1968 for the political and journalistic culture in the Federal Republic? Where were the venues of the “Hamburger Kumpanei” and what was behind the “Fremdenblatt”?Anecdotes and memories from the personal environment of the founding generation enrich the city tour from Heuberg to the Helmut-Schmidt-Haus and into the HafenCity.Including a visit to the foyer of the “Spiegel” publishing house.
