Museum of wax figures Panoptikum / Panoptikum.
It was the Panofitikum - the oldest German Museum of Wax figures, which opened its doors in 1879. At that time, the exhibits were burgomistra, famous political figures, as well as the famous residents of Hamburg himself. The exhibitions were the collections of medieval weapons, among which were armor, diorams and other exhibits. The wax figures were the subject of the pride of residents of the city, so every visitor came to the museum with great pleasure and considered every exhibit. People amazed and admired the amazing technique of masters who created such beauty, and the most courageous visitors visited the horror room, without which no modern museum do.
In 1943, there was a terrible fire, which destroyed most of the collection, for the restoration of which took about five years.
Today, in the Panofitikum there are wax figures of famous politicians, athletes, cinema stars, as well as other historically outstanding personalities. There is even a miniature anatomical museum, the exhibits of which are human bodies, for example - a collection of eyes or the development stage of diseases.
The cost of visiting the museum, for adults, is about 6 euros.

It is not only one of the most popular places in Hamburg among tourists with children, this is also just an amazing place that is impressive by every beauty and unique representatives of the animal world. The zoo is located not far from Schtelling and is considered one of the best in Europe.
As you already understood, the zoo was named after his founder - Karl Hagenbeck, who in 1907 first applied enclosures against wild animals.
Today, all representatives of the animal world that live in a zoo, namely, 2,500 individuals who belong to 360 species live in free and spacious avoices in order to recreate the conditions for their natural habitat.
I really liked an aviary with elephants, because they can be fed with fruits and vegetables. Near them are always full of kids who happily give them treats. Not so long ago, an adventure park appeared in the zoo in which visitors can plunge into the atmosphere of caves, wild jungle and tropical seas.
Here are constantly performing speeches with dolphins and sea lions, and you can also ride on a camel or an amazing train on a certain fabulous country. For visitors with children, a playground is provided on the territory of the zoo, on which you can play in the interruptions between the inspection of animals.

Church of St. Jacob / Hauptkirche Sankt Jacobi.
This is one of the main Lutheran churches of the city, which is located right in his center. Many tourists will easily recognize the church from afar, because its 125-meter tower is towers over the center of Hamburg. It can be said that the tower is slightly lower than in the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, but the Church of St. Jacob suffered greatly during the Second World War, and was anew recreated, so that it acts so far.
Initially, in the 1255th year, it was only a small chapel, which the locals began to visit. But afterwards, she grew into a huge and majestic Gothic cathedral, beautiful and large-scale. The true pride of the cathedral is the old organ, which has four thousand pipes, an excellent body of Arpa Schnitger, 1693.

Ruins of the Church of St. Nicholas / Ehemalige Hauptkirche St. Nikolai.
One of the five Lutheran churches of Hamburg was a large-scale and very beautiful Church of St. Nicholas. It was she, in the gap from 1874-1876, possessed the status of the highest construction of the planet, due to its 147-meter tower. Although, today, almost one tower remained from the church, because during the time of war, namely during the air bombing of the city, the church was very destroyed. To date, this is a memorial who is planning to restore local authorities.
If you trace the story of the emergence of the church, then at all stages, it was accompanied by many misfortunes. For example, quite shortly before the emergence of plague in Europe, the construction of the church began - 1335. Construction was carried out in the northern Gothic style, but as for the towers, then one of them burned down in 1589, and the second in 1644 was completely collapsed. In 1842, almost the entire Church destroyed the fire, so after it was rebuilt in the neo-neo-style style, but he destroyed wartime.
Therefore, today. Tourists can only see the ruins of the church, as well as her huge tower.
