| Hamburg Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Hamburg Metro Station Hamburg Metro Station Ranjith Variar Hamburg lies about 101 km from the open sea on the River Elbe. With 1,7 million inhabitants, it is the second largest city in the Federal Republic of Germany. It is the biggest harbour city in Germany (and after Rotterdam the second biggest in Europe) and – not a contradiction - it is the greenest city in Germany. 13 % of the city are park and greenland, 23 % protected countryside and 6% nature reserves. However, two thirds of the city are occupied by parks, lakes or tree-lined canals, giving this huge harbour city a refreshal rural feel. Hamburg’s skyline is dominated by the pale green of its copper spires and domes, but a few houses and the churches are just about all that’s left from before the last century. The Great Fire of 1842 was a main cause of this loss, followed by demolition to make way for the warehouse area, and bombing during World War II. Though commerce is Hamburg’s strength it has its share of cultural attractions as befits a town that was once the home of Johannes Brahms. Be sure to visit the cathedrals of St. Jacobi, where you can see a distinguished 15th-century altar, and St. Michael, a baroque church with a 440-ft/134-m spire offering a great view of the city. Don’t miss as well the unique Rathaus, a city hall supported by dozens of pillars — it’s really a grand building. Hamburg is also a fun city — make time to enjoy some of the beer halls and explore the St. Pauli district and the various parks such as Alster Lake downtown. Stroll through Hamburg’s famous fish market, which sells much more than fish. The port city of Hamburg with more than 40 mi/64 km of canals and 2 500 bridges has an independent entrepreneurial spirit — it’s the closest thing to a city-state in Germany. It’s still exciting to watch enormous freighters move up the Elbe for loading and unloading. A day trip can be taken to the cities Lubeck, Bremen or Schwerin or, if you have some more days to spend, to the famous spas located either on the North or the Baltic Sea. ________Sights Edit This FIshmarkt, Hamburg FIshmarkt, Hamburg Stewart Campbell Hamburg is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Germany.

Edit This A short history of Hamburg! The history of Hamburg starts in the year AD825 with the building of the "Hammaburg", a moated castle built between the Alster and Elbe rivers. This was apparently a combination of earth works and a wooden palisade type of fortress. The second part of the name is clearly "-burg" for "castle", but there are three contenders for the origin of the "Ham-" part. These are reported as being: Ham = River Bank in the Saxon tongue of the time or Hamme being the name of the Beech woods that surrounded the area and were used in more..

| Northwest Germany Northwest Germany - TravelPuppy.com Undiscovered by many holidaymakers, the northern region, although relatively flat, offers pleasant scenery with gently rolling hills, lake country and fine sandy beaches and dunes in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, bordering on Denmark. Hamburg Hamburg is Germany's second-largest city with a population of 1.8 million people. It is a city-state, forming with Lübeck, Bremen and Rostock and other European ports the medieval Hanseatic League. A sightseeing tour, starting at the Hauptbahnhof (main station) gives a good overall impression of the city. The Baroque Church of St Michael (der Michel), the Town Hall with its distinctive green roof, the elegant Hanseviertel, the Alster Arcades and the Alster Lake, the biggest lake inside a European city, are principal sights, along with the Arts Mile, location of most important museums and galleries. Museums of interest include the domed Hamburg Art Gallery (Kunsthalle), the Historical Museum, the Decorative Arts and Crafts Museum and the Altonaer Museum. Hamburg has many theatres, including the Hamburg State Opera (Hamburgische Staatsoper), Germany’s oldest opera house, John Neumeier Hamburg Ballet, the German Theatre (Deutsches Schauspielhaus), and the Ohnsorgtheater, which performs plays in the Low German dialect (plattdeutsch). In the city’s heart is the Planten und Blomen park near the Congress Centrum Hamburg, with its spectacular fountain displays during the summer. During a daytime visit to the park, the Television Tower is the highlight. For a small charge, visitors take the lift to the top platform and enjoy a view of the city, the harbour, the northern districts and the surrounding countryside. Just below is a restaurant, which turns full circle in the course of an hour enabling diners to enjoy every vantage point. Not far from the Television Tower, next to the Feldstrasse underground station, the large Dom funfair takes place several times a year. From Feldstrasse it is not far to the famous St Pauli district, which includes the notorious Reeperbahn, with its various ‘adult’ entertainments. After dark this area comes alive with neon lights, music, crowds, theatres and door staff trying to attract people into their establishments. After a long night out, revellers congregate at the Fischmarkt, which opens at 0630 hrs, and sells fruit and vegetables as well as fish. A wide range of harbour trips are available, and the Speicherstadt historic Warehouse Quarter is a must. Hamburg enjoys unrivalled shopping, with pedestrianised shopping streets, elegant arcades, fine department stores and street cafes concentrated in the area between the main railway station and the Gänsemarkt. Refuge from a hectic day’s shopping can be sought by hiring a rowing boat or a paddleboat and exploring the Alster and the intricate network of canals (Hamburg has more bridges than Venice) which extends throughout the city. On Sundays, a stroll on the banks of the River Elbe is a favourited pastime or a visit to the Museum Harbour at Övelgönne. Numerous cafes and restaurants line the route. Bremen Bremen, also a city-state, with over half a million inhabitants and is the oldest German maritime city, having been a market town since AD 965. For all its history, though, it boasts two of the country’s most modern high-tech visitor attractions including the interactive Universum Science Centre, and the Space Travel Visitor Centre. Historic Bremen clusters around the marketplace, featuring the Gothic Town Hall (1405-1410), in front of which stands the Roland, the statue of a medieval knight and symbol of the city. The extensive pedestrian zone includes a sculpture of the Bremer Stadtmusikanten (Musicians of Bremen), made famous in the fairy tale by Grimm. Also part of this is the Schnoorviertel, a district full of medieval charm, with narrow cobbled streets now housing art galleries and exclusive shops. The nearby port of Bremerhaven is home to the German Maritime Museum. Schleswig-Holstein In Schleswig-Holstein is Germany’s ‘Little Switzerland’ and the dukedom of Lauenburg, an area of quiet meadows and wooded hills. Glistening among them are the blue waters of the many lakes and fjords reaching deep into the interior of this state. A trip could also include visits to tiny undiscovered towns such as Ratzeburg and Mölln or to one of a string of Baltic resorts such as Timmendorfer Strand, Grömitz and Schönhagen, whose golden, sandy beaches attract summer crowds. Lübeck, whose picturesque oval-shaped old town, ringed by water, still has many reminders of the city’s medieval golden age and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, claims to be the most beautiful town in northern Germany. The Holsten Gate, the Rathaus and the many examples of northern red brick town houses are part of the historic heritage. Thomas Mann set his famous novel, Buddenbrooks, here. Buddenbrook House contains the Heinrich and Thomas Mann Centre, giving information on the life and works of both authors. Flensburg, the most northerly town in Germany, has architecture dating back to the 16th century and for many years of its history was part of Denmark. Just south of Flensburg is Kappeln an der Schlei, a picturesque small town between the Fjord and the Baltic. Every hour during the summer the traffic comes to a halt when the rotating bridge allows sail and fishing boats to pass. At the beginning of the season in May the Heringstage lure visitors to taste the town’s speciality, herring. Along the Schlei lies the old Viking town of Haithabu, with its interesting museum. Further south, still on Schleswig-Holstein’s east coast, is state capital Kiel, a modern city with a large university. It stands on the Nord-Ostsee (Kiel) Canal, which connects the North Sea with the Baltic. In June, yachting and sailing enthusiasts flock to the Kiel Week. One of Germany’s biggest passenger ports, Kiel’s highlights include a Maritime Museum, the Molfsee Open Air Museum and the Oceanographic Institute Aquarium. Large systems of dykes protect the low-lying western coast of Schleswig-Holstein from constant pounding by waves. Sea breezes, a wealth of bird species and nature reserves make the North Friesian Islands of Sylt, Föhr and Amrum a favourite for nature holidays. Ferries connect with the numerous Halligen, small flat islets off the coast. Westphalia Westphalia extends from the Rhine to the Weser Valley. For many, Westphalia conjures up images of the industrial Ruhr Valley, but the region is also one of outstanding natural beauty and historical interest. Highlights include the Teutoburger Forest with its nature reserves, the ancient episcopal see of Münster and whose attractions include the newly opened Pablo Picasso Graphics Museum containing nearly 800 original lithographs, and the Sauerland Region, an area of lakes, forests and hills, providing good skiing in winter and walks at any time. Major cities along the Rhine in the west of the state are described in the Rhineland section. The Ruhr Valley South of Münster is the heavily industrialised Ruhr. Made up of several large cities merging to form one huge conurbation, the Ruhrgebiet is, however, also a vibrant centre of culture with many museums, theatres, art galleries and opera houses. The region also has many parks providing refuge from the industrial landscape. Many older buildings survive from the days when this was an agricultural area dotted with small towns. The main cities of the Ruhr are (from west to east): Krefeld, Duisburg, Germany’s largest internal port, Mühlheim, Essen (in the heart of the region, and home to Germany’s newest UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Zollverein Coke Plant), Bochum, and Dortmund, centre of Germany’s brewing industry. South of the Ruhr and bordering the beautiful Siegerland and Sauerland regions is Wuppertal, which, stretched out along its own valley, is home to a unique suspension railway urban transit system, the Schwebebahn. Lower Saxony East Friesland, on the North Sea coast of Lower Saxony, consists of a wide plain interspersed by ranges of tree-covered hills known for their health resorts and modern spa facilities, as well as their fine sandy beaches. The car-free East Friesian Islands also offer relaxing health-oriented holidays. Sea air and scenery along the coast guarantee a happy and restful holiday atmosphere. In contrast is the large nature reserve between the rivers Elbe and Aller further inland. The countryside comprises moorland with large expanses of heather, grazing sheep, clumps of green birch trees and junipers. Of interest in this area are the half-timbered houses of Celle and Lüneburg, historic centre of Germany’s salt industry. Further west is the town of Oldenburg, economic and cultural centre of the region between the Ems and the Weser, to the north is the spa town of Wilhelmshaven, which has as its speciality relaxing and therapeutic mud baths. It is also the starting point for many tours along the East Friesland coast and the off-lying islands. Romantic Germany can be found in the Weser Valley, near Hanover (see below), where there are fairytale towns such as Hameln (Hamlyn), famed for the tale of the Pied Piper.

Amburgo (in tedesco Hamburg o Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg - città libera e della Lega Anseatica) è la più grande città della Germania dopo Berlino, ed il suo porto principale; essa infatti è anche la seconda più grande città portuale dell'Unione Europea Amburgo sorge sulle rive del fiume Elba (Elbe in tedesco) nel nordovest della Germania. È una Città Stato, situata fra i Länder della Bassa Sassonia (Niedersachsen) e lo Schleswig-Holstein.
[modifica]
GeografiaAmburgo si trova nel punto in cui i fiumi Alster e Bille sfociano nell'Elba, che 110 km più a nord-ovest sfocia a sua volta nel Mare del Nord. È attraversata da una fitta rete di canali chiamati Fleete; il centro città e' circondato dai due laghi artificali formati dall'Alster: il Lago Binnenalster (la parte di fiume che si trovava dentro le antiche mura della città), e il Lago Außenalster (Alster esterno). Il porto naturale si estende per tutta la larghezza dell'Elba principalmente sulla riva meridionale che fronteggia i quartieri di St. Pauli e Altona. Le due rive del fiume sono collegate tramite ponti a est e tramite due tunnel.

StoriaLa "Binnenalster" Amburgo venne fondata nel IX secolo. Durante il medioevo era un membro importante della Lega anseatica e, grazie alla sua posizione, divenne presto uno dei porti più importanti d'Europa. Duramente colpita dai bombardamenti durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, tutt'oggi è una delle più importanti città commerciali della Germania.

Blue GoalBlue Goal sull'Hamburger Rathaus (municipio di Amburgo) I blue goal sono una installazione luminosa ad Amburgo creata in occasione dei campionati mondiali di calcio 2006. responsabile per questo progetto è l'artista Micheal Batz. L'installazione consiste in circa 150 porte calcistiche (senza rete) costituite da traverse in alluminio con lampade al neon blu. Le porte hanno dimensioni differenti, a seconda della loro posizione: la più grande ha una dimensione di 80 metri (larghezza) per 30 metri (altezza). La prima blue goal è stata installata il 20 giugno 2005 e da allora si sono susseguite le installazioni nei punti più importanti della città e sugli edifici più famosi, quali lo storico municipio. A partire dal 9 giugno 2006 le blue goal saranno unite nella notte da fasci di luce laser. Voci correlate

GNU Free Documentation License St. PauliDa Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.St. Pauli nel 1900 St. Pauli (nome completo: Sankt Pauli) è un quartiere della citta di Amburgo. Il quartiere ha circa 27.000 abitanti (2002)distribuiti su 2.6 km². E' situato direttamente sul fiume Elba, nelle prossimità del porto di Amburgo. All'inizio del XVII secolo si sviluppò come un quartiere denominato 'Hamburger Berg' (Montagna di Amburgo) giusto al di fuori delle mura della città e vicino ad Altona. Il nome deriva da una collina che si trovava in zona con scopi militari, che veniva utilizzato come campo di artiglieria. Succesivamente, si iniziò a concedere la costruzione di nuovi edifici, ma presto il commercio, che non era accettato all'interno di Amburgo, a causa di rumori ed odori, fu relegato alla zona di 'Hamburger Berg'. Anche i produttori di corde (o 'Reeper' in Basso Tedesco) si trasferirono nella zona in quanto era difficile trovare spazi sufficentemente grandi per la loro attività in città. Il nome della via più famosa del quartiere Reeperbahn, traducibile come via dei Cordai, si potrebbe dire molto indicativo. Quando fu concesso alla popolazione di vivere in St.Pauli alla fine del 17° secolo, il comune decise di spostare il Lazzaretto e le industrie più inquinanti fuori dal quartiere, che fu nominato così per la chiesa che vi venne costruita. St. Pauli ha una lunga tradizione come centro di divertimento. Il grande porto di Amburgo vi portava una grande quantità di marinai che vi spendevano il tempo in attesa che la loro nave venisse caricata prima di ripartire. Da allora la prostituzione rimane un fattore connotante di St. Pauli: tutt'oggi il distretto a luci rosse si trova in Reeperbahn. Le peculiarità di St. Pauli sono comunque molte: essere uno delle zone più depresse della ex-Germania occidentale, una delle culle del movimento Punk tedesco, nonché sede della famosissima squadra omonima di calcio, il F.C. St. Pauli. St. Pauli ha una forte tradizione musicale: The Beatles vi vissero e vi suonarono prima di divenire famosi . Cantanti e attori come Hans Albers sono associat conSt. Pauli, dando vita così all'inno non-ufficiale, "Auf der Reeperbahn Nachts um Halb Eins." |
