Das neue Hamburg

The documentary focuses on the 1937 competition among leading architects in Germany, tasked with transforming Hamburg's cityscape. It highlights the shift from the Alster to the Elbe, as the city was designated a "Führerstadt" alongside Berlin, Linz, Nuremberg, and Munich.

Through interviews with the architects involved, the film delves into their experiences and roles during this significant project. The architects reflect on their contributions to the representation and administrative buildings intended for the party and the private sector. This documentary serves as a critical examination of how architecture was intertwined with political ideology during a tumultuous time in history.
