explanation: Located on the estuary of Elbe river near North Sea, Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany and the second largest harbour in Europe.

During the middle ages, Hamburg had been a prosperous city of Hanse league, until the discovery of a new world by Christopher Columbus, though Hamburg still remains a member state of German federation.
