About this activity

Take a step back to the autumn of 1958, where the gray everyday life of the post-war period crashed into the colorful glamour of American rock 'n' roll. This audio journey takes you to the place where Private Elvis Presley set foot on European soil and turned a military logistics operation into a global media sensation. Beyond the celebrity spectacle, we uncover the hidden history of Bremerhaven as a 'Port of Embarkation' – the gateway for millions of GIs and the epicenter of the 'Fräuleinwonder'. Find out how a single soldier became a weapon in the Cold War, how the 'Lipsi' - dance couldn't stop the beat, and how this port city became a 'Little America' on the North Sea.
