Hello,
this are real very great pictures of Hamburg.
I am already glad on more.
Hamburg is – with some distance – the worldwide third-biggest musical location to New York and London and counted in 2007 two million musical visitors. The Stage entertainment maintains with the operetta house TUI, the new flora and the theatre in the harbour three bigger musical theatres with a visitor's capacity between 1400 (operetta house) and in 2030 (theatre in the harbour) to places as well as a musical school. The construction of the fourth theatre with 1700 places is planned for 2010 in the harbour city. There there come the numerous smaller stages as for example the Saint Pauli Theater on which particularly own-produced musicals and guest performances are played.
Beginning of the development of the musical town was the Deutschlandpremie of Andrew Lloyd Webbers Cats (1986-2001). Further ran through many years very successfully The phantom of the opera, Buddy Holly (till the end of 2005), dance of the vampires (till January, 2006) and Mamma Mia! (till September, 2007). To the topical productions belong The king of the lions in the theatre in the harbour, Tarzan since August, 2008 in the new flora and I still never was in New York which is played since December, 2007 in the operetta house.
Properly. I find the Hamburg city hall especially great.
More than 100,000 people from all over the world visit yearly the Hamburg city hall - for good reason: It is one of the most impressive parliament and government buildings in Germany. For over 100 years it is a seat of citizens (parliament) and senate (government).
The Hamburg city hall is one of few completely preserved examples of the Historismus in Germany. The dreiflügelige granite and sandstone construction owns a 111-metre-wide facade with a 112-metre-high middle tower. The roof is kupfergedeckt. The excellent combination of Italian and North German Renaissance elements in the facade generates a harmonious whole effect. Twenty kings and emperors of the old German empire, from Karl to the tallness to Franz II stand between the window niches on the city hall market side. About the monarch the representations of the middle-class virtues sit enthroned in the middle tower; wisdom, unity, bravery and devoutness. It is no chance that the middle-class virtues about the emperors are arranged. Their position symbolises the freedom of the city of Hamburg compared with the crown, because Hamburg was no imperial city, but a Hanseatic town. Besides, about the main entrance a mosaic which shows the Hamburg national allegory Hammonia is.
Super-duper I also find the Hamburg harbour.
The Hamburg harbour is an open tide harbour, with a surface of 7.236 hectares biggest in Germany and after the harbours of Rotterdam and Antwerp third-biggest in Europe. With his four containers of terminal it is to Rotterdam the second largest container port of Europe and the eleven biggest one of the earth. In 2008 140.4 million tonnes of goods were turned, of it 95.1 million tonnes in containers, this corresponded to a unit of 9.7 million standard containers. Beside the movement of goods the Hamburg harbour is a location for commercial processing, in particular of the mineral oil industry and for the shipbuilding. In addition, since 2006 he is used increasingly as a port of call for cruise ships.
The origins of the Hamburg harbour lie in the 9th century. As the official foundation date is valid the 7th of May, 1189 which is celebrated every year in the harbour birthday. From the middle of the 19th century he was extended with numerous harbour basins and wharfs up to his today's size, since the 1970s he finds out by the rising application of the containers during the merchant ship journey a massive restructuring in the professional life like in the land utilisation. The harbour is administered by Hamburg port Authority which has arisen in 2005 from the office for stream and harbour construction. She is at the same time an owner of the prevailing part of the harbour properties.
Hamburg has more than 60 theatres, more than 100 music clubs, about 60 museums, about 280 music publishers and 200 sound carrier enterprises. Moreover, live and work in Hamburg more than 10,000 independent artists. There are nearly 30 cinemas and repertory cinemas. More than 10.3 million visitors the Hamburg cultural authority alone counted for the events which were promoted publicly. 4.2 million visitors counted the theatrical stages of the town in the season 2005/2006. Hamburg is with 2383 theatergoers 1000 inhabitants leading in Germany and lies even after deduction of the musical visitors before the following countries Bremen (921) and Berlin (907).
