Will you tell us your story?

Many perspectives of people from Hamburg’s urban society have not yet been reflected in the Museum of Hamburg History (MHG). During the current structural and content modernization, the MHG is inviting people to tell their stories and share their realities so that some of them can be included in the collections and exhibitions in the long term.

Through participatory initiatives—whether digital formats or gathering places in public spaces across the city’s various neighborhoods—we want to encourage the people of Hamburg to share their lived experiences.

Whether short, long, serious or humorous – all stories are welcome. What is your connection to Hamburg? What brought you to the city and what keeps you here? Where is your personal Hamburg? The aim is to give an insight into life and everyday life in the city or district and perhaps also to share wishes and hopes for Hamburg. Take part here and actively shape the exchange about our city.

Mein Hamburg! at the KörberHaus in Bergedorf

Opening Night on August 6, 2026, at 6:30 p.m.

The Museum of Hamburg History will be visiting the KörberHaus in Bergedorf from August 4 through August 22. We invite you to share your story.

Too many of the perspectives of our city’s residents are missing from the museum. Let’s change that together! “Mein Hamburg!” is coming to you in Bergedorf!

To kick things off on Thursday, August 6, 2026, starting at 6:30 p.m., you can look forward to a diverse evening featuring readings, storytelling, and live music by Bergedorf artists—an event that brings the unique character of the neighborhood to life through sound, sight, and experience.

You can find the complete program with all the important information on the “Mein Hamburg!” website:
