Ships of the future
0 - 99 years Strandhöft Strandhöft, 20457 Hamburg – Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ke4apiM4yRAHUUPF7Ships will continue to connect people around the world in the future. But how will they be powered? What materials will they be made of, and what will they transport, and where?
Children from the “Ships of the Future” summer workshop at the German Port Museum looked beyond the haze of old ship diesel engines and reimagined ships!
From cargo sailing ships to vessels with completely new types of propulsion and climate-friendly ships—admire these one-of-a-kind creations in a water basin at Strandhöft and be the first to test their seaworthiness as ship inspectors!
You, too, can build small modules for your own ship of the future here and make them float!

Deutsches Hafenmuseum
The German Port Museum is currently located in Shed 50a, right in the heart of the port. The museum is currently exploring the questions of what a port is, who works there, and what function a port serves. All of this is illustrated using Hamburg as a concrete example, with the focus not only on history but also on the present and future of ports. The warehouse is surrounded by a large outdoor area: massive cranes tower into the sky, historic freight cars stand on the original tracks of the harbor railway, and the most impressive sight is undoubtedly the PEKING, a sailing ship over 110 years old. Directly across from the museum on the other side of the quay is Unikai, so visitors can see, hear, and smell the harbor’s daily operations.
In addition to showcasing large-scale exhibits and hosting exhibitions, the museum holds many events and organizes educational programs and workshops for visitors of all ages.
