About This Item

Gate to the World

Since many decades, the people of Hamburg use the term "The Gate to the World" for their hometown and the Port of Hamburg. Throughout the centuries, people connected hope and confidence with the opportunity of taking - partially riskful - journeys through this gate into the great big world ... And those who remained behind .. They came together at special places at the harbour, where they could wave farewell and look-out for the incoming ships ... like at "Returns End", a small spot at the end of the storehouses, where the lonely would wait for their beloved ones to return safely.

This small piece of Hamburg wants to remind of all those human destinies and therefore is set for the mission to travel to all the ports, harbours and marinas of the world .. to all those big and small gates to the world ...


Schon seit vielen Jahrzehnten verwenden die Hamburger den Ausdruck "Das Tor zur Welt" für ihre Heimatstadt und den Hamburger Hafen. Über die Jahrhunderte hinweg verbanden die Menschen Hoffnung und Zuversicht mit der Möglichkeit, sich durch eben dieses Tor auf teils gefahrvolle Reisen in die große weite Welt zu begeben .. Und jene, die zurück blieben ... Sie trafen sich an besonderen Orten am Hafen, von wo aus sie zum Abschied winken und nach einlaufenden Schiffen Ausschau halten konnten ... so wie an der "Kehrwiederspitze", eine kleine Stelle am Ende der Speicherstadt, wo die Einsamen auf die sichere Heimkehr ihrer Geliebten warteten.

Dieses kleine Stück Hamburg möchte an all diese menschlichen Schicksale erinnern und ist daher mit dem Auftrag unterwegs, all die Häfen und Anlegestellen dieser Welt zu bereisen .. zu all den großen und kleinen Toren zur Welt ...
