Date, time and all details are as follows:
The event takes place in September [update:] Every year again and again
By purpose, fellows, especially those from other parts of Europe, are invited to participate and play an active role in this event. By the way, Hamburg is a great place to be.
“Northeast Sea Week“ in Miniature Wonderland: “Northeast Sea” is a real water section in the Scandinavien part and a combination of North Sea and Baltic Sea with 33,000 litres of running water. The “Northeast Sea Week“ meanwhile is for many years a tradition only for participants of our meeting! It is an exclusive experience to steer your ’own’ ship as captain through the waters of the Northeast Sea. Of course, support of the knowledgeable and experienced modelers is guaranteed. There is plenty of time that everybody can have his fair share as a captain as we plan to have the Northeast Sea Week basically the whole Saturday plus Sunday up to lunch time. As in real life, pilots, police and coastguard will be on the scene to assist and to make sure no accidents and damages will happen.
4th Saturday in September 2019 + 2020 + 2021 + 2022 + 2023 ... aso.

Official start at 01:00 p.m.: We will meet in the reserved area of the restaurant on the 2nd floor.
Traditional lunch: Currywurst and French Fries provided and prepared by “Freddy” (Frederik Braun – one of the owners) according to a special but secret recipe. Beverages will be served as well. There is plenty of time to get to know each other.
03:15 p.m. – official photo session with all participants
Accompanying program starts right away: In July 2015 Hamburg’s historical warehouse district has been awarded the status of UNESCO World Heritage Site. We think this is reason enough to go on a quick tour to the historic building complex that is also the home of our Miniature Wonderland. Our destination is the “boiler house” which once delivered the power to the whole complex. Today the boiler house serves as the information center for the warehouse district. Visitors have an interesting information about the new harbor city.
On this tour we will get at least a glimpse of the warehouse district, its importance to worldwide trade it had once in the past, the new Hamburg “HafenCity”. On the way back there is plenty of time for personal use or a first glance at the construction site of “Italy” which is brand new. Remember your last vacation trip to Italy? Do you recognize the city or the beach?
Following dinner you can tour the exhibition on your own. From minute to minute the crowd will get less. Take your time to check out all the details or take a look at the many bargains you can find on the gift-shop located on the 2nd floor.
10:00 p.m. – Special opening hours up to midnight for our registered guests only.
The Wonderland will stay open specifically for those participants to unguided tour the whole exhibition area including maintainance areas and the famous one and only “Knuffingen International Airport” –
At midnight the official part of the program comes to an end.
4th Sunday in September 2019 + 2020 + 2021 + 2022 + 2023 ... aso.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
08:30 a.m. – All participants can enter the exhibition free of charge with your Meeting-ID. In case you want to meet somebody, meetings can be arranged in the restaurant.
The marvelous “Northeast Sea Week” will continue up to early afternoon.
___________________________________________________________
During this weekend you visit the exhibition more than twelve hours experiencing times of less crowd. Starting already on Friday or leaving late Sunday will allow for even more precious time.
Right now we can not specify the exact amount to participate in this event as some of the costs are triggered by the number of participants which is not known so far. Nevertheless, we do not expect cost exceeding € 39,00 per person for entrance and all program parts above. We believe this is a price you cannot beat.
___________________________________________________________
Changes to the agenda and timing might happen wherever necessary. We try to keep them as low as possible.
It is recommended to make your arrival and departure plans early. Definitely, we will have some more discussions here in this forum.
Kind regards to all our model-railroad friends
The organisation-team
