Industry City 


                            


                             

                             


                   Hamburg: harbour


Hamburg is a transport hub and is an affluent city in Europe. It has become a media and industrial centre, with plants and facilities belonging to Airbus, Blohm + Vossand Aurubis. The radio and television broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk and publishers such as Gruner + Jahr and Spiegel-Verlag are pillars of the important media industry in Hamburg. Hamburg has been an important financial centre for centuries, and is the seat of the world's second oldest bank, Berenberg Bank

Hamburg, city and Land (state), located on the Elbe River in northern Germany. It is the country’s largest port and commercial centre. The Free and Hanseatic City (Freie und Hansestadt) of Hamburg is the second smallest of the 16 Länder of Germany, with a territory of only 292 square miles (755 square km). It is also the most populous city in Germany after Berlin and has one of the largest and busiest ports in EuropeIts population is over 1.7 million people. The official name, which covers both the Land and the town, reflects Hamburg’s long tradition of particularism and self-government.


Maritime Hamburg



THE SCENT OF FREEDOM IS EVERYWHERE
The Port of Hamburg is the second largest seaport in Europe and is one of the nine largest container harbours in the world: More than eight million containers are handled here every year. What sounds like an imaginary industrial site is actually a real "hands-on" port "and one of Germany's most popular attractions.


Culture in Hamburg





                        Theatre & stages

After New York and London, Hamburg is the world's third largest musical metropolis. Disney's THE LION KING is a classic at the majestically located Theater im Hafen. It is also the numerous theatres, museums and galleries, along with the Staatsoper and a colourful club scene, that make Hamburg a pure cultural pleasure.

The Old Town is indeed Hamburg's oldest district and the real attraction for many tourists. The most famous, of course, are the Chilehaus and the office buildings on Burchardplatz, but the Sprinkenhof, Mohlenhof and the Messberghof are also considered popular tourist destinations. The "Old Elbe Tunnel", however, remains unchallenged.

                               


The ten-storey office building is one of the historic architectural monuments of Hamburg. Due to its distinctive architecture with its lean, unconventional structure - its top evoking the bow of a ship - it is an attraction known well beyond the boundaries of Hamburg. Built between 1922 and 1924 by F. Höger, it is considered a representative example of the revival of north German brick construction supported by Hamburg's senior construction director F. Schumacher and F. Höger.

Green Hamburg

Parks and green spaces Hamburg not only has abundant water, but with almost 1,400 parks offers lots of space for relaxationeven away from the Elbe and Alster,Spacious, modern and historic gardens and parks offer plenty of room for relaxation, games and sports in Hamburg. 

In my opinion I think Hamburg is a high-technology city. Hamburg isn't a tourist city but it's really good for someone who like industry, factory or technology.I went to Hamburg 2 years ago it was very cool because in this city have many beautiful and old building.
