German Language Immersion in Hamburg
Hamburg was founded in 810 by Charlemagne and earned its place in history by becoming the most strategic port in the Hanseatic League of North German cities, which controlled trade in the Baltic and North Seas between the 13th and 15th centuries.
A great fire destroyed much of the city in 1842, and a century later World War II bombing raids again laid
it waste, but Hamburg bounced back with style, thanks to the wealth garnered from its position as a trading center.
Today, Hamburg is now home to more millionaires per capita than any other city in Europe. Most of the sights of interest are centered on its maritime traditions, particularly in the harbor area, where the 'Warehouse district' has been transformed into an entertaining destination offering several attractions.
Further afield Hamburg is the gateway to the seaside and spa resorts of the Baltic and North Sea coastline.
