Overview

  • Embark on a captivating linguistic journey through the historic harbour of Bremen and its winding alleys. Discover how Low German changed from the powerful lingua franca of the medieval Hanseatic merchants to the rough, familiar dialect of the dockworkers and sailors.

This is not just a historical tour; it is an expedition into how power, class, and economics shape the words we speak.
