Hamburg, officially known as the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg (also called Friee un Hansestadt Hamborg in Low German), is a city-state and, as such, one of the states of the Federal Republic of Germany. The city's official name, Hamburg, reflects its historical significance as an independent imperial city and as an important member of the Hanseatic League.


Hamburg, with a population of approximately 1.8 million, is the second largest city in Germany and the largest city in the European Union that is not a capital city. The Hamburg Metropolitan Region has a population of over five million, while the urban agglomeration itself is home to about 2.2 million people. The city is divided into seven districts, which are further subdivided into no fewer than 104 neighborhoods. These neighborhoods include Neuwerk, an island group in the North Sea.


The Port of Hamburg is one of the largest transshipment ports in the world and, in combination with its international airport, has significantly contributed to Hamburg's status as one of Europe's leading logistics hubs. Economically, the metropolis plays a prominent role, particularly in the aerospace, life sciences, information technology, and consumer goods industries. It is also a leader in these sectors in the scientific field. Hamburg's educational and research landscape encompasses a multitude of highly regarded educational institutions and research centers.


Since 2015, the Speicherstadt (Warehouse District) and the adjacent Kontorhausviertel (Office Building District) have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Other famous cultural monuments and landmarks include Hamburg's imposing City Hall and the city's five striking main churches. Numerous brick building facades and the proximity to waterways, provided by a multitude of rivers, canals, and waterways, continue to characterize the city's appearance. The St. Pauli district, known for its famous Reeperbahn entertainment district, is also internationally renowned, as is the Elbphilharmonie concert hall, which opened in 2016. Hamburg is one of Europe's premier locations for musicals. Currently experiencing remarkable growth in international city tourism, Hamburg is considered one of the cities with a particularly high quality of life worldwide.


Since 1996, Hamburg has had the honor of hosting the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS). Since 2004, the Hamburg Summit, a significant meeting between representatives from China and Europe, has been held regularly in the Hanseatic city. In July 2017, the city hosted the twelfth meeting of the Group of Twenty (G20) leading industrialized and emerging economies.
