The BallinStadt Hamburg Emigration Museum

The BallinStadt Emigration Museum in Hamburg tells the poignant stories of millions of people who departed from the city's port toward the New World between 1850 and 1934. Known as the Harbor of Dreams, Hamburg served as the final European stop for those seeking a better life. The museum offers a historical immersion through fourteen themed rooms that reconstruct the journey, from living conditions in migrant quarters to the arrival at Ellis Island.

Visitors can explore the world's largest passenger ship list and access a dedicated genealogy research area with support from expert staff. The admission ticket includes access to the three large exhibition halls on mass migration. The experience is suitable for all ages; children under five enter for free. The museum is accessible and offers an engaging journey through the hopes, fears, and dreams of the emigrants.
