A glimpse into Hamburg’s musical history
The Hamburg Composers’ Quarter is a unique group of museums located in the Neustadt district. It tells the stories of famous composers who were born in Hamburg or worked here – including Brahms, Telemann, C. P. E. Bach, Hasse, Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn, as well as Gustav Mahler. The small, modern museums offer a vivid insight into the musical heritage of the Hanseatic city.
A place worth discovering
The Composers’ Quarter is a calm and inspiring place, away from the usual tourist routes. The exhibitions are modern, easy to understand and surprisingly personal. It is especially enjoyable for visitors who are interested in music, history or Hamburg’s cultural life. A small tip: the museums are only a few minutes’ walk from St. Michael’s Church (the “Michel”) – perfect for a cultural combination.
