AIDA congratulates the St. Pauli Museum on the new presentation of its permanent exhibition
In a festive ceremony
on May 1, 2015, AIDA President Michael Ungerer congratulated the St. Pauli
Museum in Hamburg on the successful new presentation of its permanent
exhibition.
As sponsor, AIDA
Cruises supports the development and conservation of the museum. “As part of
the local community, and as a responsible company, we are pleased to support
the wonderful work of the St. Pauli Museum, and to thereby contribute to
today’s new presentation of the museum and the continuation of the social
initiatives of the St. Pauli Museum,” said Michael Ungerer.
The museum documents
the history of Hamburg’s most famous district with over two million photographs
and documents from 150 years of city history. With its lively and multifaceted
exhibitions, it plays an important role in creating awareness of this unique
district’s history and culture among tourists and Hamburg’s citizens. The
museum's social initiatives for the homeless and those in need provide
assistance to those in the district who do not live on the sunny side of life.
Hamburg and
particularly St. Pauli have special meaning for AIDA Cruises: Hamburg is one of
the most important ports for the AIDA fleet, which currently comprises 10
ships. This year, alone, the company made 55 stops with 5 AIDA ships in the
Hanseatic City. With AIDAprima in 2016, AIDA Cruises will be stationing the first
ship that will depart from Hamburg year round.
