Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany and the seventh largest in the European Union. The city has become established as a business hub in Germany and is a popular destination for business travellers.

Hamburg was a member of the medieval Hanseatic League and a free imperial city of the Roman Empire. The city has suffered many disasters, most notably the Great Fire of Hamburg and the 1962 North Sea Flood. Hamburg was also one of the most heavily bombed German cities during the Second World War. The city endured a sizeable regeneration project following World War Two, as was seen in Cologne. Remarkably, Hamburg’s economy revived after each catastrophe, and is rock solid today.
