City of Hamburg

In the North of Germany and in the heart of Europe; Hamburg is Germany's second largest city (1.7 million inhabitants) and offers an excellent quality of life and international flair.

  • City on the water

Hamburg is a city on the water. The »Alster«, a 1.6 km² large lake in the middle of the city, is the perfect place for sailing, canoeing and rowing; not just for sportspeople but also for city people who prefer a leisurely boat trip on a mild summer evening. The river Elbe flows through Hamburg and connects the city and its international harbour with the world.

  • Dynamic city 

Hamburg is one of the most dynamic commercial centres in Europe, Hamburg with a strategic focus on six innovative segments: aviation (Airbus), the international port and logistics, IT and media, life sciences (biotechnology, medical technology and health care), nanotechnology and renewable energies. Competence clusters interlink companies, universities and research institutes and Hamburg University of Applied Sciences offers not only degree programmes in these fields but also works closely with many companies and institutes to ensure that knowledge is shared and developed.

  • Green city 

Hamburg is a green city, with 5 million trees and numerous large parks making life in this city very pleasant. Whether at the weekend or after work and whatever the weather; Hamburg citizens enjoy the parks at the »Alster«, the 140 hectare large »Stadtpark« or the flower paradise »Planten un Blomen«. Europe's »greenest« city offers a wide range of possibilities for everyone who enjoys spending time out of doors.

  • City of culture 

Hamburg is a city of culture. A vibrant theatre scene offers everything from big, classical productions to fringe theatre. Hamburg is famous for its ballet and is the third largest musical city after New York and London. Fifty museums offer a varied programme of exhibitions and collections. The Beatles achieved international acclaim in the Hamburg Starclub and today world stars are at home in the arenas and on the stages of the city.

  • City with many faces 

Hamburg is a city with many faces. Streets with beautiful art nouveau buildings and old villas inter-change with post-modern architecture. The historical »Speicherstadt« with its old brick buildings is mirrored in the glass facades of the new »HafenCity«. The city is divided up into districts, each with its own character; Altona, Blankenese, Eppendorf and many more.
