Hamburger Frühlingsdom

Three times a year – the DOM on the Heiligengeistfeld

The Hamburger DOM is Hamburg's oldest and largest funfair – with a 700-year history dating back to the 14th century when travelling merchants sought refuge from weather and unrest in the Mariendom (St. Mary's Cathedral). Today, the DOM takes place three times a year on the Heiligengeistfeld: as the Frühlingsdom in March/April, as the Sommerdom in July/August, and as the Winterdom in November/December.

253 showmen, 55 rides, 187 food stalls

The scale of the Frühlingsdom should not be underestimated:

• 253 showmen and stallholders
• 55 rides, including 20 children's rides
• Around 11 amusement attractions (haunted houses, mirror mazes, etc.)
• 187 food and catering establishments, as well as bakeries and confectioners

LOOK 360° – the new viewing attraction

A special feature of recent editions is the LOOK 360° panorama platform – an approximately 71-meter-high observation tower that has been touring various German and European Volksfeste for two years. From the top, you can see St. Pauli, the Elbphilharmonie concert hall, and the Port of Hamburg – a perspective experience that no other funfair of this size offers.

Family Wednesday and Fireworks

Classic weekly rituals structure the DOM:

• Wednesday – Family Day with 30% discount on all rides and special offers at around 140 food stalls
• Three fireworks displays at 10:30 PM each: on opening night, on Easter Sunday, and on the closing Friday

Free entry, family prices

Everyone can enter the Heiligengeistfeld free of charge – you only pay for what you ride or eat. This low barrier makes the DOM the ultimate family event. A beer and a carousel ride for the children can be enjoyed for twenty to thirty euros for an evening.

Hamburg-Mitte district and St. Pauli

The Heiligengeistfeld is located between the Reeperbahn, Hamburger Volkspark (Hamburg People's Park), and the St. Pauli stadium – one of the most central and symbolic areas of the Hanseatic city. The organiser is the Hamburg-Mitte District Office; the showmen are organised in the Landesverband d. Ambulanten Gewerbes & d. Schausteller Hamburg (State Association of the Mobile Trades & Showmen Hamburg).
