Hamburg wishes to bring the Olympic Games back to
Germany in 2024 – 52 years after Munich. Both the Han-
seatic city and HMC are ideally equipped for this task.
Patience is required, however, until the final decision has
been made.

Each year, the HAMBURG HARBOUR
BIRTHDAY FESTIVAL attracts over a
million visitors to the Elbe.
This enjoyable and broad-based festival
lasts for three days and acts as a reminder
on water and land of the founding of the
port in 1189.
