 a river runs through it by yooperprof One of the best places to catch a glimpse of the active working port is from the "suburb" of Altona, where an overlook allows for viewing the bustling river below. Container ships carry Germany's industrial bounty to the far corners of the world - Germany being the one of the world's leading exporters, with a dramatic _trade surplus_, in sharp contrast to some other nations that shall remain nameless.

 shiny triangle by yooperprof The Bürohaus is one of a series of interesting modern office buildings in this part of Hamburg. Opened in 2002, it was designed by the Bothe, Richter & Teherani firm that was also responsible for the new "Europa Passage" shopping mall in the center city. The Bürohaus is just to the west of Deichtorplatz, wedged into Ost-West Strasse and the Dovenfleet. Leave a Comment

"Hamburger Hafen und Logistik Aktiengesellschaft" - HHLA - is the port authority that operates the Speicherstadt, or "Warehouse City." (According to their website, the HHLA is still the world's largest warehouse facility!) The "ancestor" company was founded in 1885, and they still operate their headquarters in this neo-gothic structure on the Bei St. Annen. Leave a Comment

Hafen City - Harbor City - is creating an entirely new neighborhood of condos, apartments, and offices along the canals of Hamburg's former free-trade zone. Lots of great windows over the canals - but in my opinion some of the street facades of the buildings are bland, if not overbearing, and there seem to be a lack of public spaces as well. I don't know if I'd want to live down in this area - it seems somewhat cold and heartless. Leave a Comment

 red ship district? by yooperprof Das Feuerschiff - moored at the Landungsbrücke - is an old converted fireship that has been converted to a hotel/restaurant/bar. Monday nights are an open jazz jam - a really good time! http://www.das-feuerschiff.de/ Leave a Comment

Count Otto van Bismarck (1803-1890) was the Chancellor first of Prussia, then of a United Germany, from 1859 until 1890. His policies were largely responsible for the creation of the "Second Reich". Conservative and traditional, Bismarck fulfilled the national aspirations of millions of 19th century Germans, but at the cost of aligning German interests with the authoritarian and militaristic ambitions of the Kaisers and their aristocratic supporters. The Bismarck Monument in Hamburg reflects a widespread conviction that German nationhood was "bound up" with the forceful projection of German masculinity. At least that's my interpretation!
