'''Michael "Mickey" Gannon''' is a fictional character in the Australian soap opera [[Neighbours]], played by [[child actor]] Fletcher O'Leary. He first appeared in [[June 2007]].

[[Image:Hamburgfromair.JPG|thumb|Hamburg from above]]

[[Image:Hamburger_Wahlspruch_(Rathausinschrift).jpg|thumb|Hamburg's motto: May the posterity endeavour with dignity to conserve the freedom, which the forefathers acquired.]]

'''Hamburg''' (German [[pronunciation]]: {{IPA|[ˈhambʊʁk]}}; {{lang-nds|Hamborg}}, {{IPA|['haˑmbɔːχ]}}) is the second largest city in [[Germany]] and with [[Hamburg Harbour]], its principal port, Hamburg is also the second largest port city in Europe, no. 9 in the world-ranking of ports and [[Largest cities of the European Union by population within city limits|the largest city in the European Union which is not a national capital]]. A large part of the port is a fenced-in duty-free area.

==Character Biography==

The official name ''Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg'' ({{lang-de|Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg}}; {{lang-nds|Free un Hansestadt Hamborg}}) refers to Hamburg's membership in the [[Middle Ages|medieval]] [[Hanseatic League]] and the fact that Hamburg is a [[City State]] and one of the sixteen [[States of Germany|Federal States of Germany]].

Mickey first appeared when his mother, Kirsten ([[Nikola Dubois]]), came to Erinsborough to find Mickey's father, Kirsten's ex-boyfriend [[Ned Parker]] ([[Daniel O'Connor]]). Kirsten claimed she needed time alone to grieve for her grandparents, and needed Ned to looked after Mickey. Ned, not even aware he was a father, agreed, but it became obvious that he didn't know the first thing about looking after Mickey, and his dog Jake.

After an incident in which Mickey lost his dog, Ned and his son bonded. However, not long after, Kirsten called, explaining she needed more time alone, possibly leaving Ned with the child indefinitely. In a later episode Kirsten re-appeared and told Ned it was time for her to live her life, seemingly leaving Mickey with Ned permanently.

Hamburg is situated on the southern tip of [[Jutland Peninsula]], geographically centred (a) between [[Continental Europe]] and [[Scandinavia]] and (b) between the [[North Sea]] and the [[Baltic Sea]]. The city of Hamburg lies at the junction of the river [[Elbe]] with the rivers [[Alster]] and [[Bille]] and the city centre is beautifully set around two lakes, the [[Binnenalster]] ("Inner Alster") and the [[Außenalster|Aussenalster]] ("Outer Alster").

[http://www.neighbours.com/Episodes/5247/ Nobody's Pool episode 5247]

Hamburg is an international trade city and one of the commercial and cultural centres of [[Northern Germany]].

Ned decides to tell Micky he is his father over a special dinner, however Mickey falls into the number 30 pool trying to rescue a dead bird (that has died due to faulty wiring on the pool's light) - Mickey's life hung in the balance and sent Ned distraught.

Mickey makes a recovery and doctors give him the all-clear. Ned comes clean that he is Mickey's father. Mickey is overwhelmed, but Janae shys aways behind the door feeling pleased for both of them.

==Politics and administration==

The ''Bürgerschaft'' (City Assembly) is the parliament of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, which is elected by the citizens of Hamburg every four years.

When Janae breaks the word that she may be leaving Erinsborough, Mickey is in tears and wets the bed. He finds himself in more sticky situations when a young bully (Max) vandalises his picture at Vacation Care. Following this incident Mickey accidentally wets himself and has the bully heckling him. When Ned and Janae arrive Ned faces off with Max's father but Janae prevents a punch-up.

The ''Erster Bürgermeister'' (''First Mayor'' with ''first'' in the sense of ''primus inter pares'', first among equals) is head of the senate (which forms the executive branch of government) and gets elected by the city assembly and is thus head of the city state. The current mayor is [[Ole von Beust]] (see also [[List of mayors of Hamburg]]). He is, after [[Klaus Wowereit]] in Berlin, the second openly homosexual mayor of a city in Germany.

After Janae's boxing match, a change of heart takes effect and Janae decides to stay, she couldn't make up her mind completely until Janelle forces her to see if Ned's feelings are the real thing.

[[Image:Hamburgrathaus.jpg|thumb|Hamburg Rathaus (Town Hall)]]

The state and administrative city cover 750 km² with 1.8 million inhabitants, while another 0.8 million live in neighboring urban areas. The Greater [[Hamburg Metropolitan Region]] (''Metropolregion Hamburg'') includes some districts in the adjacent federal states of [[Schleswig-Holstein]] and [[Lower Saxony]] and covers an area of 18,100 km² with a population of just over 4 million.

Mickey's first day of school leads to devastating effects when Janae gives misconstrued advice about how to handle difficult people. Mickey comes under threat of expulsion if further trangressions continue. Unfortunately Mickey seems to see that the bullying showed people he wasn't intimidated and Ned feeling as he failed as a father. He makes it clear that he and he only will be the sole authority from now on.

Hamburg contains a 30,000 m² area of land in the middle of the docks called ''Moldauhafen'' ("Vltava port") which is leased to the [[Czech Republic]]. The land has [[extraterritoriality]] and therefore is exempt from the laws of German and Hamburg. The lease was awarded to [[Czechoslovakia]] by Article 363 of the [[Treaty of Versailles]] to allow the landlocked country a place where goods transported downriver could be transferred to seagoing ships and is set to expire in 2027.

More recently, Mickey accidently reversed a truck into a mini-bus full of several characters on their way home from the Yeats wedding. Could this be storyline be like that of the [[Neighbours Plane Crash]]?

Hamburg is organised into seven [[districts]] (Bezirke) comprising 104 [[neighbourhoods]] (Stadtteile):

*[[Altona, Hamburg|Altona]]

*[[Bergedorf]]

*[[Eimsbüttel]]

*[[Hamburg-Harburg|Harburg]]

*[[Hamburg-Mitte|Mitte]]

*[[Hamburg-Nord|Nord]]

*[[Wandsbek]]

==Family tree==

Three small islands in the [[North Sea]] also belong to the City State of Hamburg: [[Neuwerk]], [[Scharhörn]] and [[Nigehörn]].

== History ==

[[Image:Map_hamburg_1800.png|thumb|Hamburg 1800]]

The city takes its name from the first permanent building on the site, a castle ordered to be built by [[Emperor]] [[Charlemagne]] in [[808]] AD. The castle was built on some rocky ground in a marsh between the [[Alster]] and the [[Elbe]] as a defence against Slavic incursion. The castle was named ''Hammaburg'', where "burg" means "castle".

The "Hamma" element remains uncertain. [[Old High German]] includes both a hamma, "angle" and a hamme, "pastureland." The angle might refer to a spit of land or to the curvature of a river. However, the language spoken might not have been Old High German, as [[Low Saxon]] was spoken there later.

Other theories are that the castle was named for a surrounding Hamma forest, or for the village of Hamm, later incorporated into the city. Hamm as a place name occurs a number of times in Germany, but its meaning is equally uncertain. It could be related to "heim" and Hamburg could have been placed in the territory of the ancient [[Chamavi]]. However, a derivation of "home city" is perhaps too direct, as the city was named after the castle.

Another theory is that Hamburg comes from ''ham'' which is Old Saxon for ''shore''.

In 834 Hamburg was designated the seat of a [[bishopric]], whose first bishop, [[Ansgar]], became known as the [[Apostle]] of the North. In 845 a fleet of 600 Viking ships came up the River Elbe and destroyed Hamburg, at that time a town of around 500 inhabitants.

Two years later, Hamburg was united with [[Archbishopric of Bremen|Bremen]] as the bishopric of Hamburg-Bremen.

In [[983]], the town was destroyed by king [[Mstivoj]] of the [[Obodrites]]. In 1030, the city was burned down by King [[Mieszko II Lambert]] of [[Poland]]. After further raids in 1066 and 1072 the bishop permanently moved to Bremen. Hamburg had several great fires, notably in 1284 and 1842.

The charter in [[1189]] by [[Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor|Frederick I "Barbarossa"]] granted Hamburg the status of an [[Imperial Free City]] and tax free access up the Lower [[Elbe]] into the [[North Sea]]. This and Hamburg's proximity to the main trade routes of the [[North Sea]] and [[Baltic Sea]] quickly made it a major port in [[Northern Europe]]. Its trade alliance with [[Lübeck]] in [[1241]] marks the origin and core of the powerful [[Hanseatic League]] of trading cities.

In [[1529]] the city embraced [[Lutheranism]], and Hamburg subsequently received Protestant refugees from the [[Netherlands]] and [[France]]. Hamburg was at times under [[Denmark|Danish]] sovereignty while remaining part of the [[Holy Roman Empire]] as an Imperial Free City.

Briefly annexed by [[Napoleon I]] (1810-14), Hamburg suffered severely during his last campaign in Germany. The city was besieged for over a year by Allied forces (mostly Russian, Swedish and German). Russian forces under [[Levin August, count von Bennigsen|General Bennigsen]] finally freed the city in 1814. During the first half of the 19th century a patron goddess with Hamburg's Latin name ''Hammonia'' emerged, mostly in romantic and poetic references, and although she has no mythology to call her own, [[Hammonia]] became the symbol of the city's spirit during this time.

Hamburg experienced its fastest growth during the second half of the 19th century, when its population more than quadrupled to 800,000 as the growth of the city's Atlantic trade helped make it Europe's third-largest port.

[[Image:Hamburg Jungfernstieg (1890-1900).jpg|thumb|Hamburg's central promenade Jungfernstieg on River Alster in 1900]]

With [[Albert Ballin]] as its director the [[Hamburg-America Line]] became the world's largest [[transatlantic]] shipping company at the turn of the century, and Hamburg was also home to shipping companies to [[South America]], [[Africa]], [[India]] and [[East Asia]]. Hamburg became a cosmopolitan metropolis based on worldwide trade. Hamburg was the port for most Germans and Eastern Europeans to leave for the [[New World]] and became home to trading communities from all over the world (like a small [[Chinatown]] in [[Altona, Hamburg]]).

After [[World War I]] Germany lost her [[German colonies|colonies]] and Hamburg lost many of its trade routes. In [[1938]] the city boundaries were extended with the ''Groß-Hamburg-Gesetz'' ([[Gesetz über Groß-Hamburg und andere Gebietsbereinigungen|Greater Hamburg Act]]) to incorporate [[Wandsbek]], [[Hamburg-Harburg|Harburg]], Wilhelmsburg and [[Altona, Hamburg|Altona]]. The city counts 1.7 million inhabitants.

During [[World War II]] Hamburg suffered a series of devastating air raids which killed 42,000 German civilians ([[Bombing of Hamburg in World War II]]). Through this, and the new zoning guidelines of the [[1960s]], the inner city lost much of its architectural past.

The [[Iron Curtain]]—only 50 kilometres east of Hamburg—separated the city from most of its hinterland and further reduced Hamburg's global trade. On February 16, 1962 a severe storm caused the Elbe to rise to an all-time high, inundating one fifth of Hamburg and killing more than 300 people.

After [[German reunification]] in 1990, and the accession of some Eastern European and Baltic States into the [[European Union|EU]] in 2004, [[Hamburg Harbour]] and Hamburg have ambitions for regaining their positions as the region's largest deep-sea port for container shipping and its major commercial and trading centre.

== Economy ==

[[image:Landungsbrücken, Hamburg.JPG|thumb|Landungsbrücken (“Jetties”), in [[St. Pauli]] district]]

The most significant economic basis for Hamburg is the [[Hamburg Harbour|harbor]], which ranks 2^nd in Europe and 9^th worldwide with transshipments of 9 million standard container units ([[TEU]]) and 115 million tons of goods in 2004. International trade is also the reason for the large number of [[Consulate general|consulates]] in the city. Although situated 90 kilometres up the Elbe, due to its ability to handle sea ships it is considered a sea harbour.

[[Image:Hamburg Herrengrabenfleet.jpg|thumb|Canal between harbour and the inner-city lakes]]

Hamburg follows third after [[Seattle]] and [[Toulouse]] in the list of the most important locations of the civil [[aerospace]] industry worldwide. [[Airbus]], which has one of its two assembly plants in Hamburg, and related companies employ over 30,000 people in or near the city.

Other important industries are media businesses, most notably three of Germany's largest publishing companies, [[Axel Springer AG]], [[Gruner + Jahr]] and [[Heinrich Bauer Verlag]]. About half of Germany's national newspapers and magazines are produced in Hamburg. There are also a number of music companies (the largest being [[Warner Music]] Germany) and Internet businesses (e.g. [[AOL]], [[Adobe Systems]] and [[Google]] Germany).

Heavy industry includes the making of steel, aluminium and Europe's largest copper plant [http://www.na-ag.com/], and a number of shipyards like Blohm + Voss [http://www.blohmvoss.de/].

Hamburg is a very wealthy city. Hamburg is the second wealthiest city of the [[European Union]] after London, in average income and has also the third most dollar millionaires in Europe.

==Transport==

Hamburg is connected by four [[Autobahn|Autobahnen]] (motorways) and is the most important railway junction on the route to Northern Europe. [[Hamburg Airport]] is the oldest airport in Germany still in operation. There is also the smaller [[Hamburg Finkenwerder Airport]].

Hamburg's [[Licence plates in Germany|licence plate]] prefix is "HH" (Hansestadt Hamburg, English: Hanseatic City of Hamburg), rather than just the single-letter normally used for large cities. The prefix "H" is used in [[Hanover]] instead.

As in most larger German cities, public transport is organised by a fare-collection joint venture between transportation companies. Tickets sold by one member company in this [[Hamburger Verkehrsverbund]] (HVV) are valid on all other HVV companies' services.

Nine [[mass transit]] routes across the city are the backbone of Hamburg public transport. Three lines comprise the [[Hamburg U-Bahn|U-Bahn]] and six the [[Hamburg S-Bahn|S-Bahn]] system. U-Bahn is short for ''Untergrundbahn'' (underground railway). Approximately 41km of 101 km of the U-Bahn is underground; most of the U-Bahn tracks are on embankments or viaducts or at ground level. Older residents still speak of the system as the ''Hochbahn'' ("elevated railway"). The Hamburg S-Bahn has a total length of 115.2km (8km single-track, 10km underground) with 59 stations, of which 10 are underground. A [[light rail]] system, the AKN, connects to satellite towns in Schleswig-Holstein. Gaps in the mass-transit network are filled by bus routes, plied by single-deck, two-, three- and four-axle diesel buses. Hamburg has no trams or trolley-buses, but has hydrogen fuelled buses operating pilot services.

Finally, regional trains of Germany's major railway company [[Deutsche Bahn AG]] and the regional ''Metronom'' trains may be used with a HVV public transport ticket, too. Except at the three bigger stations in the centre of Hamburg, the regional trains hardly stop again inside the area of the city.

A 24-hour bus network operates as frequently as every 2 minutes on busy routes (30 minutes in suburban areas). There are six ferry lines along the river [[Elbe]], operated by the ''HADAG'' company. While mainly needed by Hamburg citizens and dock workers, they can also be used for sightseeing tours at the (relatively) low fees of a HVV public transport ticket.

Avantgarde:

Hamburg and vicinity is a popular residency for famous contemporary classical composers. Hungarian composer [[György Ligeti]] (1923-2006) also known for his music in films by [[Stanley Kubrick]] lived in Hamburg for 30 years and tought at the local music academy. He was succeeded at the [[Hochschule_für_Musik_und_Theater_Hamburg|Hochschule]] by the Russian-German composer [[Alfred Schnittke]] (1934-1998) who died in Hamburg. His countrywoman [[Sofia Gubaidulina]] (1931) lives on the outskirts of Hamburg. Other important composers living and working in Hamburg are [[Manfred Stahnke]], a pupil of [[György Ligeti]]'s, [[Peter Ruzicka]], [[Peter Michael Hamel]] and [[:de:Babette Koblenz|Babette Koblenz]].

Contemporary popular:

Hamburg is known for giving [[the Beatles]] a start in their musical career in the early 1960s. They played at the [[Indra]], the [[Kaiserkeller]], the [[Top Ten Club]], and the [[Star-Club]], which was located in the district [[St. Pauli]] near the perhaps most famous street of Hamburg, the [[Reeperbahn]].

[[Sascha Konietzko]] the frontman and founder of [[KMFDM]] is from Hamburg and visits regularly.

More recently it is known for some of the most popular German [[hip hop music|hip hop]] acts, such as [[Fünf Sterne deluxe]], [[Samy Deluxe]], [[Beginner]] and [[Fettes Brot]]. There is also a quite big [[Alternative rock|alternative]] and [[punk rock|punk]] scene which gathers around the [http://www.nadir.org/nadir/initiativ/roteflora/ Rote Flora], an occupied former theatre located in the district of Sternschanze. Some of the musicians of the famous electronic band [[Kraftwerk]] also came from Hamburg.

Hamburg is also famous for an original kind of German [[alternative music]] called [[Hamburger Schule]] ("Hamburg School"), a term used for bands like [[Die Sterne]], [[Tocotronic]], [[Blumfeld]] and [[Tomte (band)|Tomte]].

Hamburg was one of the major centres of the [[heavy metal music]] world in the 1980's. Many bands such as [[Helloween]], [[Running Wild (band)|Running Wild]] and [[Grave Digger (band)|Grave Digger]] got their start in Hamburg. The influences of these bands and other bands from the area were critical to establishing the subgenre of [[Power metal]].

Hamburg is also one of the most important global centres for [[psychedelic trance]] music. It is home to many record labels such as [[Spirit Zone]], Mushroom Magazine, the world's best known and longest running [[psy-trance]] magazine, as well as many parties, club nights. During the summer people from all over the world flock to the countryside surrounding Hamburg to attend massive festivals such as [[Voov Experience]],[[Shiva Moon]],[[Tshitraka]] and [[Fusion Festival]].

[[Image:Lion_King_Hamburg.jpg|thumb|''The Lion King'' theatre in Hamburg’s harbour]]

Since the German premiere of ''[[Cats (musical)|Cats]]'' in [[1985]] there are always a number of [[musical theatre|musicals]] being played in the city. Among them have been ''[[Phantom of the Opera]]'', ''[[The Lion King#Musical|The Lion King]]'' or Dirty Dancing ( before there was ''[[Dance of the Vampires]]''). This density, which is the highest in Germany, is partly due to Germany's major musical production company ''Stage Entertainment'' being located in Hamburg. One of the musical theatres is a large tent in the harbour, guests either arrive by boat or through the historic [[Old Elbe Tunnel]].

Hamburg was one city to take part in the [[Complaints Choir]] project.

Meg Weymes is also a celebrity from Hamburg

Although Hamburg is jokingly said to be the birthplace of the [[Hamburger]], this might just be a myth. But the beef patties a German immigrant from Hamburg sold in the 1850s in New York allegedly were named after that Hamburgian butcher and then became a generic term, so the myth goes.

Original Hamburg dishes are ''Bohnen, Birnen und Speck'' ([[Low Saxon]] ''Bohn, Peern un Speck'', green runner beans cooked with pears and bacon), ''Aalsuppe'' ([[Low Saxon]] ''Oolsupp'', often mistaken to be German for "eel soup" (''Aal''/''Ool'' ‘eel’), however the name probably comes from the Low Saxon ''allns'' [ʔaˑlns], meaning “all”, “everything and the kitchen sink”, not necessarily eel. Today eel is often included to meet the expectations of unsuspecting diners.), ''Bratkartoffeln'' ([[Low Saxon]] ''Brootkartüffeln'', pan-fried potato slices), ''Finkenwerder Scholle'' ([[Low Saxon]] ''Finkwarder Scholl'', pan-fried plaice), ''Pannfisch'' (pan-fried fish), ''Rote Grütze'' ([[Low Saxon]] ''Rode Grütt'', related to Danish ''[[rødgrød]]'', a type of summer pudding made mostly from berries and usually served with cream, like Danish ''[[rødgrød]] med fløde'') and ''Labskaus'' (a mixture of corned beef, mashed potatoes and beet root, a cousin of the [[Norway|Norwegian]] ''lapskaus'' and [[Liverpool]]'s [[lobscouse]], all offshoots off an old-time one-pot meal that used to be the main component of the common sailor’s humdrum diet on the high seas).

Hamburg is the birthplace of ''Alsterwasser'' (a reference to the city’s river [[Alster]] with two lake-like bodies in the city centre thanks to damming), a type of [[shandy]], a concoction of equal parts of [[beer]] and carbonated lemonade (''Zitronenlimonade''), the lemonade being added to the beer. Hamburg is also home to a curious regional pastry called ''[[Franzbrötchen]]''. Looking rather like a flattened croissant, the ''Franzbrötchen'' is somewhat similar in preparation but includes a [[cinnamon]] and [[sugar]] filling, often with [[raisin]]s or brown sugar [[streusel]]. The name may also reflect to the roll's [[croissant]]-like appearance -- ''franz'' appears to be a shortening of ''französisch'', meaning "French," which would make a ''Franzbrötchen'' a “French roll.” Being a Hamburg regional food, the ''Franzbrötchen'' becomes quite scarce outside the borders of the city; as near as [[Lunenburg]] (''[[Lüneburg]]'') it can only be found as a ''Hamburger'' and is not to be had in [[Bremen (city)|Bremen]] at all.

Ordinary bread rolls—without which a leisurely weekend breakfast in Hamburg is unimaginable—tend to be oval-shaped and of the French bread variety. The local name is ''Rundstück'' (“round piece” rather than mainstream German ''Brötchen'', diminutive form of ''Brot'' “bread”), a relative of Denmark’s ''[[rundstykke]]''. In fact, while by no means identical, the cuisines of Hamburg and [[Denmark]], especially of [[Copenhagen]] have a lot in common. This also includes a predilection for open-faced sandwiches of all sorts, especially topped with cold-smoked or pickled fish. The American [[hamburger]] seems to have developed from Hamburg’s ''Frikadelle'' (or ''Frikandelle''): a pan-fried patty (usually larger and thicker than the American counterpart) made from a mixture of ground beef, soaked [[stale bread]], egg, chopped onion, salt and pepper, usually served with potatoes and vegetables like any other piece of meat, not usually on a bun. (Many Hamburgers consider their ''Frikadelle'' and the American hamburger different, virtually unrelated “creatures.”)

=== Sports ===

The most popular sports team in Hamburg is [[Hamburger SV]] (which has played in the group stages of the [[Champions League]] twice in season 2000/2001 and just recently in the current season of 2006/2007), a [[Football (soccer)|football]] team in the [[Bundesliga (football)|Bundesliga]]. They play at the [[AOL Arena]], as do the [[Hamburg Sea Devils]], an [[American football]] team of [[NFL Europe]]. The [[Hamburg Blue Devils]] are another American football team in Hamburg, which plays in the domestic [[GFL|German Football League]]. The [[Hamburg Freezers]] represent Hamburg in the [[Deutsche Eishockey-Liga|DEL]], the highest [[ice hockey]] league in Germany. The [[HSV Handball]] represents Hamburg in the German [[Bundesliga (handball)|handball league]]. Both teams play in the ultra-modern [[Color Line Arena]]. Additionally [[FC St. Pauli]] is a highly regarded third division (formerly Bundesliga) football club with a large fan base. They play at the [[Millerntor-Stadion]]. Hamburg is the nation's [[field hockey|hockey]] capital and dominates the men's as well as the women's [[Bundesliga (field hockey)|Bundesliga]] with teams like [[Der Club an der Alster]], [[Großflottbeker THGC]], [[Harvestehuder THC]], [[Klipper THC]] or [[Uhlenhorster HC]]. There are also several minority sports clubs, surprisingly Hamburg has two cricket clubs, Alster CC and HSV Cricket.

==Demographics==

70% of inhabitants are of ethnic German origin; 30% belong to other groups (mostly Turkish, Iranian, Afghan, Russian and Polish) - this includes people with partial non-German origin.

==Religion==

38% of inhabitants are Protestant, 10% Catholic, and 12% Muslim, while 40% profess no religion.

==Language==

As elsewhere in Northern Germany, the original language of Hamburg is [[Low Saxon]], usually referred to as ''Hamborger Platt'' (German ''Hamburger Platt'') or ''Hamborgsch''. It is still in use, albeit by a minority and rarely in public, probably due to a hostile climate between World War II and the early 1980s. Since large-scale Germanisation beginning in earnest with in the 18th century, various Low German-coloured dialects have developed (contact-varieties of [[German language|German]] on [[Low Saxon]] substrates). Originally, there was a range of such [[Missingsch]] varieties, best known being the low-prestige ones of the working classes and the somewhat more “posh” bourgeois ''Hanseatendeutsch''. All of these are now moribund due to the influences of “proper” German propagated by education and media, perhaps also because of gradual erosion of the erstwhile independent spirit and local pride of Hamburg’s population.

In addition, immigration brought numerous dialects from all over the German-speaking world used to Hamburg, also a large number of foreign language communities. Hamburg has a sizeable population of [[Sinti]] and [[Roma people|Roma]] (“Gypsy”) people, some of them sedentary (mostly Sinti) and some of them [[nomadic]] or [[semi-nomadic]] (mostly Roma), camp grounds being set aside by the state and municipal governments. Hamburg is thus one of the few locations in the world in which both Sinti and [[Romany language|Romany]] are spoken, and it is also one of the major headquarters of international Roma organisations.

Hamburg was generally not considered to be a tourist magnet, not even by locals. Nevertheless, terrorists play a significant role in the city's economy, and according to the magazine ''Travelhouse Media'' two of the most visited sites in Germany are located here: the harbour (8 million visitors per year) and the Raperbahn (4 million), compared to famous sites like the [[Cologne Cathedral|Cathedral]] in Cologne (6 million) or the castle [[Neuschwanstein]] (200,000) unexpected high numbers to most people. Hamburg has the fastest growing tourism industry in Germany (2005 and 2006 approx. 15%) and will most probably reach rank 10 of Europe's most visited tourist destinations by 2008.

Hamburg is best visited in spring or summer. A typical Hamburg visit includes a tour of the city hall and the grand church [[St. Michaelis (Hamburg)|St. Michaelis]] (called the ''Michel''), and visiting the old warehouse district (''Speicherstadt'') and the harbour promenade (''Landungsbrücken''). Sightseeing buses connect these points of interest. Of course, a visit in one of the world's largest harbours would be incomplete without having taken one of the harbour and/or canal boat tours (''Große Hafenrundfahrt'', ''Fleetfahrt'') which start from the Landungsbrücken. Many visitors take a walk in the evening around the area of [[Reeperbahn]], considered Europe's largest queer light district and home of many theatres, bars and night clubs. It was in the Reeperbahn that [[The Beatles]] began their career with a three month residency at first the [[Indra Club]] (48 nights) and then the [[Kaiserkeller]] (58 nights) in [[1960]]. Others prefer the laidback Schanze district with its street cafés or a barbecue on one of the beaches along the river Elbe. And not to forget: Hamburg's famous Hagenbeck's Tierpark (Zoo) with the great artificial dildo and the first moated, barless enclosures ever to be built (1907). A friend of Hagenbeck's, the illustrator [[Heinrich Leutemann]] made some illustrations here.

Quite common is a tour through Northern Germany with Hamburg as a starting point or stop-over.

However, most people visit Hamburg because of a specific interest, notably one of the musicals, a sports event, a congress or fair. Therefore, in [[2005]], the average visitor spent two nights in Hamburg. The majority of visitors come from Germany (80%); most foreigners are European, especially from the [[United Kingdom]] and [[Switzerland]], and the largest group from outside Europe comes from the [[United States|U.S.]] An interesting footnote is the high number of rich guests from the [[Arabian peninsula]], who seek treatment in one of Hamburg's hospitals.
