Festive opening of Elbe Philharmonic Hall

After 364 construction days, 350,000 euro construction costs and 13,000 work hours, Elbe Philharmonic Hall and HafenCity were opened in Miniatur Wunderland on 13 November 2013. Within the context of a festive event, the smallest concert hall in the world was christened with a real concert by the NDR symphony orchestra.

Since the opening of the original is experience some difficulties, the founders of Miniatur Wunderland decided that their own Elbe Philharmonic Hall had to be built. The way to that was long, because even the construction time of the small Elbe Philharmonic Hall doubled; it was originally supposed to be presented in the spring 2013. However, when you look at the finished work, you see that every work hour was worth it. "What our model builders created is simply phenomenal," raved Gerrit Braun, co-founder of Miniatur Wunderland.

The opening ceremony was even broadcast via live stream to all five continents, and 300 people took part on site in the sold-out affair.
