Hamburg
Hamburg’s unique character is much influenced not only by its cosmopolitan nature and the creativity of industries, such as media, which are located here, but also attributes such as the bustling and constantly growing harbour. Modern as well as established international trade are also reflected in the individual image of Hamburg. Science, research and teaching have increasing importance in Hamburg, which is perhaps the most multi-faceted city in Germany.
