The Journey
Site of Helmut Gmoch Murder & Safia S. Case
This location is marked by two separate, yet equally significant, criminal events. In 1974, Protection Guard Helmut Gmoch was murdered, a case that remains a chilling piece of local history. Decades later, in 2016, the case of Safia S. added another layer of notoriety to the site, drawing attention to the complexities of criminal justice and the impact of crime on the community. While not a typical tourist destination, its somber historical significance offers a stark reflection on the area's past.
Steintorviertel, Hamburg
Steintorviertel, located near Hamburg's central station, is a vibrant and diverse neighborhood known for its lively atmosphere and multicultural influences. While facing challenges such as petty crime, the area offers a unique blend of cultures, reflected in its diverse eateries, shops, and bustling streets. Explore its hidden alleyways, sample international cuisines, and experience the authentic energy of this dynamic district. Be aware of your surroundings and embrace the area's raw and genuine character.
Site of IRA Bombing (1989) & 'Old Town Bomber' Case (1992)
This location is associated with two significant acts of terror that shook the region. The 1989 IRA bombing stands as a stark reminder of past political conflicts, while the 1992 'old town bomber' case highlights the ever-present threat of domestic terrorism. This site serves as a somber memorial to these events, encouraging reflection on the impact of violence and the importance of peace and security. Visiting this location offers a chance to connect with history and appreciate the resilience of the community in the face of adversity.
Location of 'Umbrella Killer' (2011) & Attempted Policeman Murder (1984)
This location carries the weight of two separate violent incidents: the 'Umbrella Killer' case in 2011 and the Attempted Policeman Murder in 1984. These events have marked the area with a chilling legacy of crime and intrigue. While not a conventional tourist destination, the site offers a glimpse into the darker aspects of urban history, prompting reflection on the causes and consequences of violence within the community.
"The Block" - RAF Retreat
"The Block" is a historical location significant as a former retreat or safe house used by the Red Army Faction (RAF). This site offers a glimpse into the clandestine operations and hidden networks of one of Germany's most notorious terrorist groups. Though its exact current state is not detailed, visiting locations tied to the RAF allows for deeper insight into Germany's complex history of social unrest and political extremism. Please be respectful to the location's history and any current inhabitants.
Institute of Criminal Investigation (CTI)
The Institute of Criminal Investigation (CTI) represents the forefront of crime-solving and forensic science. Though generally not open to the public, its presence signifies the ongoing commitment to justice and the pursuit of truth. While a physical visit may not be possible, understanding its role enhances appreciation for the behind-the-scenes work that keeps communities safe. Learning about CTI's impact can provide insight into the intersection of science, law enforcement, and the quest for a safer society.
