This post brought back some good memories! I lived in hh for 3 years .. quite close to the rathaus in harvestehude .. and used to walk past it all the time on my way to buy cigars at la casa del habano in chilehaus .. its a stunning building, and the pics really dont do justice to just how massive and imposing it is in person ... even more impressive when u think it was built in the late 1800 ..

I first toured the Hamburg Rathaus shortly after playing the recent Indiana Jones game. My most salient observation was that the Rathaus interior was a dead ringer for the Vatican interior spaces in that game: Wide marble gilded and red-carpeted staircases, walls made of art and covered in art with bas-relief everywhere, even the same hardwoods used everywhere as far as I could tell.
