More information about the video content bellow:
1. Hamburg, officially the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, is the second-largest city in Germany. One of Germany's 16 federal states, it is surrounded by Schleswig-Holstein to the north and Lower Saxony to the south. The city's metropolitan region is home to more than five million people.

2. The official name reflects Hamburg's history as a member of the medieval Hanseatic League and a free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. Before the 1871 Unification of Germany, it was a fully sovereign city state, and before 1919 formed a civic republic headed constitutionally by a class of hereditary grand burghers or Hanseaten. Beset by disasters such as the Great Fire of Hamburg, north Sea flood of 1962 and military conflicts including World War II bombing raids, the city has managed to recover and emerge wealthier after each catastrophe.

3. When picturing a city with many bridges, most think of the charming islands of Venice or the lovely canals of Amsterdam. But, in fact, it is Hamburg that has more bridges than any other city in the world – though no one knows how many exactly, sources state between 2,300 and 2,500. Among these are road, rail, and footbridges, bridges stretching across rivers, canals, and roads.

4. In 1907, Carl Hagenbeck Jr., the son of a fishmonger-turned-animal collector, founded the Tierpark Hagenbeck. At the time it was unlike any zoo in the world for there was not a single cage in sight. The animals were kept in open enclosures surrounded by moats, providing them with a more natural environment where they could move freely. Today this design is preferred by zoos all across the world.

5. The Beatles launched their career in Hamburg. A few streets away from Herbertstraße is the Beatles-Platz, named in honor of the band whose later fame was forged in the clubs around the Reeperbahn. When asked once by a reporter what growing up in Liverpool was like, John Lennon is said to have replied: “I didn’t grow up in Liverpool, I grew up in Hamburg.”

6. Next time you’re lighting a candle to count down to Christmas, remember that it’s a tradition that began in Hamburg in the 19th century. As the story goes, in the Christmas season Johann Hinrich Wichern, a theologian and founder of an orphanage, was constantly asked by the orphans when will Christmas finally arrive. He came up with an ingenious answer: he took a carriage wheel and attached as many candles as days until Christmas.

7. Hamburg is Europe's third-largest port. Downriver from Hamburg lies the “Willkomm-Höft” or “welcome point” which welcomes and says goodbye to every ship coming in and out of Hamburg harbour. Each ship is welcomed with the national anthem of the country it is registered to and bid farewell on its return journey by dipping the Hamburg flag and hoisting the international flag signal for “bon voyage”.
