Motorhome Hire Hamburg, Germany
Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany and with the Hamburg Harbour, its principal port. Hamburg is also the second largest port city in the European Union.
The official name Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg refers to Hamburg's membership in the mediæval Hanseatic League and the fact that Hamburg is a City State and one of the sixteen Federal States of Germany.
Hamburg is situated on the southern tip of Jutland Peninsula, geographically centered between Continental Europe and Scandinavia and between North Sea and Baltic Sea.
The city of Hamburg lies at the junction of the river Elbe with the rivers Alster and Bille and the city center is beautifully set around Lake Binnenalster and Lake Außenalster. Hamburg is an international trade city and the commercial and cultural center of Northern Germany.
Hamburg is famous for its sophisticated music scene.
Hamburg Cusine and Drinks
Although Hamburg is jokingly said to be the birthplace of the Hamburger, this is just a myth. The hamburger was named after Hamburg. Original Hamburg dishes are:
- "Birnen, Bohnen und Speck" (green runner beans cooked with pears and bacon),
- "Aalsuppe" (Often mistaken to be German for "eel soup" (aal = eel), however the name probably comes from the Low Saxon "aalens", meaning "all" - anything could be in it, but not necessarily eel.
Today eel is often included to meet the expectations of unsuspecting diners.
- "Bratkartoffeln" (fried potatoes),
- "Finkenwerder Scholle" (fried plaice),
- Pannfisch (fried fish),
- Rote Grütze (something similar to summer pudding consisting mainly of red berries) and
- "Labskaus" (a strange looking combination of corned beef, mashed potatoes and beet root – with a name oddly similar to Liverpool's lobscouse).
Hamburg is the birthplace of the "Alsterwasser", a reference to the Alster lakes in Hamburg, which is an equal parts mixture of beer and carbonated lemonade (Zitronenlimonade), where the lemonade is added to the beer.
