The Tahara House at Elmshorn’s Jewish cemetery contains an exhibition about the city’s Jewish citizens and their persecution under National Socialism. The Konrad-Struve House presents everyday, typical and curious objects from Elmshorn’s urban history in a modern exhibition collection and a reconstructed living room.

Along the Krückau in the city centre, Elmshorn’s sculpture garden displays twelve traditional and contemporary works. Guided city tours lead to historic buildings, the harbour and notable residents of Elmshorn.
