With Hamburg a completely new great beetle ideas opened: The prototype museum, the HafenCity with museum harbour in the Speicherstadt, the Reeperbahn, an Elbe and harbour tour, Elbe crossing with the beetles, trip through the marsh landscape to Vierlande and its heathlands experience.
The highlights were: Elbe and harbour round trip, Vierlande trip to Winsen an der Luhe with special permission to park the beetles on the Schlossplatz. Convoy trip to Hamburg over the Köhlbrand bridge through the customs port to the prototype museum. The police beetle from the Hamburg police led the convoy towards Cityhafen; something unprecedented: 6 beetles were allowed to be positioned on the pontoons in Sandtorhafen!
On to the Reeperbahn, "Die Entdeckung der Currywurst" at the "Heißen Ecke"! By special permission the beetles were allowed to be parked on the Spielbudenplatz at the Davidswache, the famous police station.
In the harbour museum Schuppen 50 the development of the port of Hamburg became very closely noticeable! The beetles were admitted to the listed ensemble of the 50s sheds. They are original locations with an unmistakable character and genuine harbour flair. A VW Cabrio 1303 was a special discovery in the hold of the MS Bleichen!
The end of a special beetle meeting was the ride on the edge of the Lüneburger Heide was the "Café im Schafstall" at lunch with its very special character.
