As of 2015, Hamburg's Speicherstadt proudly bears the honor of being Germany’s 40th UNESCO World Heritage Site. According to the Committee, Speicherstadt — with its unique buildings and winding network of streets, canals and bridges — is an 'extraordinary example of representing one or more eras of human history'.

The Speicherstadt is the world's largest complex of warehouses. It was built into the Elbe River between 1883 and the late 1920s on thousands of oak poles as a free economic zone in Hamburg's port.

Today, Speicherstadt is host to an array of leisure activities. "Miniatur Wunderland", an enormous model railway system, is immensely popular with all age groups, while "Hamburg Dungeon" offers brave visitors a spooky trip through Hamburg’s history.

There's plenty to see outside the old warehouses too. In the long canals between the former storage buildings, you can catch smaller ships making their way through the area.

Speicherstadt is a symbol of the connected world like no other. At the intersection of trade, commerce, art, and entertainment, it represents the perfect theme for our fundraiser: creating friendships and funding for artistic exchange and world-openness.
