Additional Information

Jewish people always played a substantial role in Hamburg’s history.
Sephardic traders from Portugal settled here in the 17th century; wealthy Jewish bankers and businessmen took the stage two centuries later, while great scholars, such as Joseph Carlebach, formed the spiritual part of the community.

Jewish Hamburg Tour will go through both the glorious and the darkest days of Jewish history and provide you with lots of historical insights, many of which will certainly leave you surprised.

Being a part of Hamburg’s Jewish community, and passionate about both its history and future, I’d love to give you my personal take on it and answer all the questions you might have.

I am more than willing to customize this tour according to your preferences, please contact me for a customized tour.

Engaging And Educational Experience Delivered By A Passionate Guide - Ian knows his stuff. He presented a wide variety of facts with the sprinkling of witty comments. Through the tour, his personality shone through, which made his presentation even more engaging. Through the facts in his presentation, Ian gave us the panorama of the human story of the Jews of Hamburg. Finally, we appreciated a humanist note in his stories and insights.

Last minute tour - Ian gave an impressive, informative overview of the Jewish community at a moments notice. He was so accommodating to my very tight schedule and meet up location. I was so impressed that I will be booking another tour with him! Thank you, Ian!!

Jewish Hamburg tour with Ian Shulman - Ian Shulman arrived on time. He was extremely well informed and has a very pleasant way about him. He gave us a very good insight into the Jews of Hamburg and told most interesting and humorous anecdotes of some famous Jewish businessmen. He also recommended a restaurant after the tour which was excellent. We would highly recommend him. Thank you Ian..

Wonderful Tour Guide - Ian is a completely engaging and interesting guide. We visited Hamburg in May 2018 to see and learn about where my father’s family had lived. I had e-mailed Ian a list of addresses of interest that included former family residences and the stolpersteine that commemorate some of the family members that were lost. When he picked us up at our hotel, he had already mapped out a route that included key Jewish historical sites as well as all of the addresses that I requested. He had good stories and information to share about Hamburg then and now and also was a patient listener to my family stories. It was a very enjoyable three hours.
