Globalization tours through Hamburg harbor

With its massive dimensions, Hamburg's port is a popular tourist attraction. One group offers visitors a tour that uses the port as a backdrop to critique the role Germany plays in international trade and globalization.

Hamburg's harbor is one of the biggest commercial ports in the world. Last year just under 140 million tons of goods were handled here, in an area which occupies more than 7,000 hectares 27 square miles). Hundreds of trade routes connect the port to nearly 200 countries.

But much of the wealth that's generated there comes with a hidden cost elsewhere - in some cases to the environment, in others to people working under unfair conditions.
