Hamburg Dungeon Marks 25 Years of Dark History and Horror

The popular attraction in Hamburg's Speicherstadt celebrates its anniversary with special shows, a party, and a look back at its grisly milestones.

The Hamburg Dungeon, a tourist attraction showcasing the darker side of Hamburg's history, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
Special events include three unique shows and a celebratory party planned for May 2025 to mark the milestone.
Over the years, the attraction has staged 383,250 reenactments of pirate Klaus Störtebeker's beheading and 416,666 mock Inquisition trials.
The Dungeon's inventory includes 23 skeletons, 27 torture devices, 610 fake rats, and 7 artificial plague corpses, alongside 1,150 square meters of artificial cobwebs.
Visitors experience 600 years of Hamburg's history, including the Great Fire of 1842 and the 1717 storm surge, through immersive storytelling and rides like an indoor waterway and freefall tower.
