Exhibition of the Archaeological Museum Hamburg at the St. Nikolai Memorial

Excavated. Archaeological research on the Nikolai Church

September 2 to November 22, 2020

With this exhibition cooperation, the Archaeological Museum Hamburg is opening a new exciting chapter in the history of Hamburg: In the heart of the city, on the Nikolaifleet, the museum has carried out several excavations in recent years. The area includes a ground monument that is unique for Hamburg, as the remains of the St. Nikolai Church, mentioned in writing for the first time in 1195, have been preserved on this area. The history of this former main church is closely linked to the history of Hamburg, and the archaeologists’ excavations have provided numerous new insights into its eventful architectural history. From September the 2nd visitor will get an exclusive look at the findings and results of this research at the cellar of St. Nikolai Memorial.
