Gigant des Nordens

The port of Hamburg has experienced and survived many things: epidemics, fires and floods, wars and destruction - but always also reconstruction. This documentary tells the story of how a small jetty on the Elbe became the global port we know today over the course of eight centuries. It is the story of one of Europe's largest ports, its people and their ideas.
