Hamburg in 1909. DPAAt the end of April a huge exhibition will open its door to the public at the Hamburg Historical Museum to mark a century since revolution coursed through the streets of the harbour city.

This exhibit looks set to be thrilling for anyone absorbed by history. At the entrance the curators have reconstructed a Hamburg street from 1918, complete with revolutionary pamphlets, weapons and uniforms.Visitors to the museum will also have the chance to meet characters from the time at a cafe. Cafes were important meeting points for revolutionaries of the early 20th century. Stop in for a cup of coffee and you could also become involved in a seditious plot.
