Hamburg und Tirol - eine Alpenfreundschaft?
In the organizer's words:
Hamburg and Tyrol - an Alpine friendship?
Winter sports paradise and nature-loving Alpine idyll: Hamburg's fascination with Tyrol has continued at least since the beginning of the 20th century. With the rise of mass tourism, Hamburg's wealthy bourgeois society conquered the Tyrolean region, while scientists and collectors used the new railroad lines and developed local tourist infrastructure for their own purposes. Images of stereotypical Alpine idylls fascinated even those Hamburgers who could not afford the trip with large-scale Alpine entertainment events, amusement parks with mountain backdrops and Tyrolean beer halls.
Alpine amusements are still present in Hamburg today and Tyrolean regions enjoy great popularity here, not only during the famous "ski vacations". The MARKK is taking this relationship between the regions, which extends to the present day, as an opportunity to trace the often romanticized images of Tyrol in Hamburg and to examine its Tyrol collection.
The exhibition at the MARKK, which uses current perspectives to tell new old stories and old stories anew in an entertaining way, reveals a lot about Tyrol, but also a lot about the people of Hamburg themselves.
Extended until the end of 2025
