Lonely Planet review

The Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte is a bit of a boy's own dream. It's chock-full of intricate ship models, has a large model-train set (only open at certain times; ring ahead) and even includes the actual bridge of the steamship Werner , which you can clamber over. Furthermore, it chronicles the city's evolution, revealing little titbits about its Masonic societies and the fact that the Reeperbahn was once the home of ropemakers ( 'Reep ' means rope). Most exhibits have English annotations.
