ReCHInnecting in the most beautiful city in the world
In all modesty, the residents of Hamburg consider their city as “The most beautiful city in the world”. These winged words are spread popularly in numerous media in Hamburg. Songs across all music genres and centuries emotionally praise Hamburg for its beauty via Seemann’s choir to hip-hop. This naturally develops a very special pride for the residents resulting in a feeling that connects and unites generations, cultures, ethnicities, and societies.
Due to its role as the biggest commercial port in the country (and the second largest in Europe) Hamburg is referred to as the “Gateway to the World”. Hamburg was also the gateway for about five million European emigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries. They left their homes at the port of Hamburg to head off to the New World in the hopes of a better life. But Hamburg offers much more than the port, river Elbe and the Alster (which is also a river and not a lake), even if these highlights lead to a really unique maritime atmosphere. Hamburg has over 2,500 bridges (more bridges than Venice, Amsterdam and Stockholm combined) which build connections between famous landmarks and destinations for residents and visitors including the city center, the Binnenalster, the Port of Hamburg, the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken, HafenCity, Elbphilharmonie, St. Pauli, the Reeperbahn, the town hall, the Michel, and many, many more.
What a great place to reCHInnect!
