It is situated on the banks of the river Elbe, which connects it to the North Sea and trade routes across the globe. It has no mountains to protect it from the weather, and its city churches are not as grand as those in other German cities. #2 Hamburg is a city of merchants, and the centuries have carved it into a middle-class rather than an aristocratic city.
The town center is dominated by the towers of the Rathaus, which sits before a large piazza. #3 The working-class areas have traditionally been found in the east of the city, in suburbs like Hammerbrook, Hamm, Rothenburgsort and Billbrook. Here, low-rise apartment blocks have always crammed in high concentrations of people. #4 The city of Hamburg has been known for centuries as Germany's gateway to the world.
Its merchants were able to draw up an agreement with nearby Lübeck, which allowed them to trade with major trading partners all over Europe.
