Old Town (Hamburg, July 2017) As you may know, the downtown area of Hamburg was almost completely destroyed as a result of air strikes during WWII. Only here and there you will find one or two blocks with pre-war buildings that give you an impression of how Hamburg looked like before the war. The buildings pictured - located at a channel called "Nikolaifleet" - date back to the 17th and 18th century. Back then, this area was part of the old port of Hamburg.
