From a settlement to convert the Saxons to Christianity in the 8th century, Hamburg has grown immensely over the centuries to become one of the most important trading centres in Europe.
Its moniker “the gateway to the world,” is owed to the city’s longstanding prosperity. It is the centre of trade between Northern, Eastern and Central Europe and northern Germany’s most important centre for trade and transportation.
Hamburg’s role as an important trading centre in Europe during the Middle Ages has left its mark on some of the city’s infrastructure. The historical “warehouse district” or Speicherstadt is a reminder of the city’s significance during the medieval period.
Germany’s second-largest city is an industrial engine and a major transportation hub. The former Hanseatic city (a member of the medieval Hanseatic League) is home to over 35,000 international corporations and companies.
Sitting between Central Europe to the south and Scandinavia to the north, with the North Sea to the northwest and the Baltic Sea to the northeast, it is no surprise that the Port of Hamburg is Germany’s most famous and Europe’s third-largest port.
But Hamburg is not only a thriving economic hub. It is also considered a top tourist destination.
