 Hamburg's city hall (Rathaus) was inaugurated in October 1897. Sea trade and aircraft building make Hamburg Germany's premier transport city The port of Hamburg, Europe’s second-largest port, dominates sea trade with eastern and northern Europe. While situated on the river Elbe some 120 kilometres inland from the open sea, the port can accommodate the world’s biggest container ships. As a container port, it ranks first in Europe and seventh in the world. Some 25 per cent of the port's turnover is derived from trade with Baltic countries. Hamburg, one of the oldest German trading and commercial cities is host to 90 foreign consulates. The city also has one of the highest concentrations of Asian companies of any European metropolitan area. During the past 20 years Hamburg has also become a centre for medical and biotechnology companies. The decision of the European aircraft maker Airbus to assemble the A380 aircraft in Hamburg has made the city Germany’s leading centre for aircraft manufacturing. Other products made in Hamburg include Nivea, Steinway pianos and Montblanc fountain pens. . |
