St. Nikolai Memorial an important memorial dealing with World War I. The original church was destroyed in air raids in 1943.

Constructed from 1886 to 1897, the town hall in Hamburg still houses its original governmental functions with the office of the First Mayor and the meeting rooms for Hamburg’s parliament and senate (located here and in use. The old town hall was destroyed in a fire in 1842, and it took almost 44 years to build a new one. The building that stands today was designed by seven architects and cost 11 million German gold marks, or about $80 million, today. In 1971, a room in the tower was accidentally discovered while officials searched for a document that had fallen behind a filing cabinet. It is possible that there are more rooms that have not been discovered. The current count is 647 rooms, meaning this building is large enough (and stunning, too) to host a video production in Hamburg, so add it to your list of potential locations!

It is no secret that food connects us to a culture, and German food has a distinct way of making you feel as if you are experiencing German culture, fully. When you book a camera crew in Hamburg, you have lots of options for amazing food to choose from when that crew gets hungry. Check out one of these amazing restaurants to curb your appetite.

  • Fischbrötchen- This fish roll is a fantastic snack typically made with pickled herring or soused herring, onion, pickles and remoulade sauce and the fish can be fried or done in a fish patty, and the fish always tastes best when you can view the docks and the sea, so that is why you should visit Fischbrötchen Hamburg to try this delightful food. Plaice is the fish most          commonly used in the sandwich, here, and it is baked or pan-fried with bacon, onions and shrimp from the North Sea.
  • Grünkohl- If you like kale, you won’t like this dish, as it serves to completely strip kale of what makes it healthy and turn it into something delicious. Kale is known as grünkohl in Germany, and at Gruenkohl Hamburg, it is stewed for several hours and served with the sides of smoked pork, various sausage, and boiled or fried potatoes. It is amazing, and mostly served in winter, so if you are hungry for something Geran and warm, this is the place to be!
  •  Rote Grütze- You don’t have to enjoy just seafood or soups to fill you up. German sweets are known for being hearty and delicious, so don’t miss out on them at Rote Grütze. Here, you will find the rote grütze cooked from red summer berries and served with milk and vanilla ice cream.
