About this audio guide
This guide to Chocoversum in Hamburg follows the Bremen chocolate house Joseph Emile Hachez founded with Gustav Linde in 1890, from a 1944 bombing raid that gutted its factory through decades of being sold, split and shifted between owners. It picks up in 2011, when the family name reopened as this Hamburg museum, tracing cocoa from bean to bar across eight visitor stations before you mix and mold your own bar to take home. Listen for how a name passed through so many hands ended up back in the public's.
