Hamburg Dungeon

This guide to Hamburg Dungeon walks through the Great Fire that gutted the city over three days starting May 5, 1842, when a cigar-factory blaze found fuel it never should have had and the city's water pumps and small fire brigade could only watch. It follows the official death toll of fifty-one against the roughly twenty thousand people left sleeping in the open. Stand where the fire drum spins the floor beneath you, built into the very foundations of this warehouse.
