Portuguese pastel de nata are gorgeous.
Welcome to the most beautiful city in Germany… my hometown Hamburg… the most british city outside of Britain 😁
6:00 this should be one of the many apartment buildings from around 100 years ago.
6:26 this is the warehouse district and in one (or two to be precise) is indeed the Miniatur Wunderland
11:40 the ice rink is only during winter time, at other times it is indeed open for roller skating
13:52 in the Chocoversum you can see and experience all the steps from the cocoa fruit to the final chocolate… yummy
16:27 in the Dungeon you get a tour through the dark ages of Hamburg history… with actors telling stories
17:25 Franzbrötchen… omg, you really have to try it, it's so worth it
19:38 Pasteis de nata… another thing you really have to try
There are a few inacuracies but in general she was not wrong in what she said (although I often flew directly from Hamburg to Amsterdam and back but maybe that changed lately?)
Oh, and about grey and gloomy… if it is raining in Hamburg, don't rely on an umbrella because most of the times you have rain combined with wind which makes it… well I guess you get the idea
Instant like beacause of the Pinneberg license plate!
3:52 interesting… that map of the public transport system isn’t Hamburg – it‘s the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Region…
15:43 …interesting… because we got one of these in Frankfurt am Main as well.
18:25 Rote Grütze or in Danish: Rødgrød. You might have better odds looking for this in the Scandiniavian (refrigerated) foods section of a BIG international supermarket / grocery store.
😊😊
18:20 What you search for is "Rote Grütze" – "Red Groats". Here a simple recipe for you to make it at home:
Ingredients:
– 500 g mixed berries, e.g. blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, red/black currants, strawberries, cherries
– 1 vanilla pod
– 20 g cornstarch
– 250 ml cherry nectar/watered down juice
– 40 g sugar
– ½ cinnamon stick
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Berries
– Sort the blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries.
– Wash the currants and use a fork to strip the berries from the stems.
– Wash, clean, and depending on the size of the fruits, halve or quarter the strawberries and cherries.
2. Make the Rote Grütze
– Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the vanilla seeds with a knife.
– Mix the cornstarch with 4 tablespoons of the fruit nectar/juice.
– In a pot, bring the remaining nectar/juice, sugar, cinnamon stick, vanilla pod, and scraped vanilla seeds to a boil.
– Stir in the mixed cornstarch and bring to a brief boil, then remove the pot from the heat.
– Gently fold in the berries.
– Transfer the red fruit jelly to a bowl and let it cool.
– Before serving, remove the cinnamon stick and vanilla pod, and stir the jelly once.
🍔 👀 😋
Originally just a ground beef patty, as it is still interpreted in multiple languages,[a] the first hamburger likely originated in Hamburg, hence its name; however, evidence also suggests that the United States may have later been the first country where two slices of bread and a ground beef patty were combined into a "hamburger sandwich" and sold as such
like allways her video is pretty cool and very personal to her, but like allways strange comparisons for example she compares hamburgs food (city) to italy and france (countries) .
Two things I know about Hamburg : it had its own consulate in San Francisco in 1850, when it was an independent nation; and my third great grandfather, A. A. Hobe, was born there
A lot of people came to America from Europe via Hamburg, too
The red dessert is called rote Grütze. A very easy recipe, but not as good as the version below:
175ml (3/4 cup) cherry juice
1 TBS starch
500gr (1 pound) of frozen berry mix
2 TBS of Sugar
Take a little of the juice and mix it with the starch and sugar. Bring the rest of the juice to boil add the starch /Sugar slurp and bring it to boil again (stirr the whole time)
Add the berry mix and put everything in a bowl and let it cool down.
We eat it with vanilla sauce or whipped cream or just milk
Enjoy
For me, being born in Hamburg, hearing someone describing the "Franzbrötchen" as a cinnemon bun after somebody stepped on is just hilarious😀 never thought of it that way. But you have to definitely visit and try! It is just gooooood 🙂 Love the content! Cheers from Germany
Hamburg is a very green city. There are not only a lot of parks. Every street, and I mean every strett has trees!
Post war Hamburg was a mess because it was a vital seaport and bombed like crazy. Not the most inviting place. The Beatles honed their craft in the shady clubs on the Reeperbaun where they played 12 hours a day. They were just teens at the time and no doubt received quite an education!
Go on try a pork knuckle the coffee and chocolate museums are interesting!
My Birthplace and real home ❤(although I live and work in another City (Nuremberg) right now. The Hamburger you can eat is related to Hamburg. There was a cook from Hamburg on one of the ships carrying immigrants from Europe to the US (Hamburg was one of the important habours next to Bremerhaven) a dish from Hamburg is the meat patty in a bun. The cook brought it to the US where it was developed further
In WW2 Hamburg was home to U boat pens, oil refineries, and other factories. In July 1943 it was heavily bombed including night bombing raids in which my father flew his Lancaster bomber. He was also heavily involved in the massive raid on Dresden in early 1945. These and other raids destroyed Germany's armaments industry thus shortening the war and saving thousands of lives. Having heard what my father went through, how my uncle was killed at the age of just 15, and how 37 members of the other side of my family were murdered in the holocaust, I could never bring myself to visit Germany even after all these years.
FYI . Hamburg Main Train Station has more Travelers per Year than Frankfurt or Berlin
Yes please order a pork knuckle at the Hofbräuhaus in Cincinnati. I would like to see how it looks like. Regards from Munich
I don’t get it. Why all Tourists shown Hamburg… Leipzig or Dresden or Frankfurt or Stuttgart are much more Nicer as this Crap Hooker Stronghold….
I like Dusseldorf and Munich better. But my very favourite Town is Memmingen, Bavaria, Germany.
really enjoyed seeing hamburg for the first time ladies,great video!!!
My hometown ❤❤❤❤❤
Hamburg has its fans like many other cities in Germany also. There are some Berlin fans who would never move to Hamburg (but maybe there are more Hamburg fans who would hate it in Berlin if the commute to Hamburg would not be so short), there are a lot Munich fans, and there are probably even more Cologne or Düsseldorf fans (but nobody would admit to be fan of both).
Hamburg's weather is often windy, cold and rainy, but it can also be marvelous sometimes. And the city has a lot to offer.
Hamburg became its own state within the Holy Roman Empire around 1510 and kept this status until today, even during the occupation of Lower Saxony respectively Hannover and Schleswig-Holstein by Prussia (1866 – 1945), although forced into a pact with Prussia.
The Netherlands have more bikes than people (~ 1.3 per person), Germany in average only about 0.87 per person (plus 0.13 E-Bikes per person however).
6:25 Hamburg Speicherstadt (translates to warehouse city), a district of warehouses built 1883 to 1927 near the main port. The Miniatur Wunderland is also in this district, yes, using two adjoining warehouses with a bridge over the canal between them. Some of the warehouses there contain now offices and/or apartments. More offices are to be found in the adjoining Kontorhaus district (Kontor = old word for a merchant's office).
6:45 Not a office house, but the concert hall Elbphilharmonie.
8:52 Chile house is located in the mentioned Kontorhaus district, an ten-story office building from the 1920s, commissioned by the shipping magnate Henry B. Sloman, who made his fortune trading saltpeter from Chile. Its ground plan is formed like a ship with two inner courtyards.
9:50 "Reep" is Low Saxon for a hawser or a ship rope (rope derived probably from reep). A Reepschläger (or sometimes Reeper) was a rope maker, and a "Reeperbahn" was a long, straight place used to make thick ropes by twisting or plaiting thinner ropes together.
16:25 You can find Hamburg_Dungeon at Wikipedia. It is a tourist attraction from a "Dungeon chain" which started with the London Dungeon and supposed to provide a journey through Hamburg’s darker history (fires, floods, inquisition, pirate hunting).
21:20 Hamburg had a lot of startups in the 2000s/2010s, but this scene moved on, I think.
Hamburgers indeed come from Hamburg. Sailors brought them to the US, where they got their nowadays' style.
HUMMEL HUMMEL !!!
Next Stop Dresden 🇩🇪👋
Germany is not the biggest country for cycling. That is the Netherlands, far behind are Denmark, Japan and the Flanders part of Belgium, and Germany is far behind those. Germany has a few decent cycling cities though, and Hamburg is one of them.
I'm a Brit, lived in Germany like.. forever! I live in Braunschweig (Brunswick in English) Hamburg is probably my favourite city on the planet! I've been to NYC, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Rome etc. etc. the people are the friendliest… and dryest. And only a 2 hour drive from where I live. I did live there for a very short time, but the rents are massively expensive. Food… she's kidding, right? Down at the harbour there's the Portuguese quarter, full of Portuguese and Spanish restaurants and bistros, founded by Portuguese sailors and their families. The Portuguese consulate is in Hamburg for this reason.
Hamburg where we got the brightest grey sky in the world. BTW: The Human Development Index in Hamburg is higher than in any country in the world (Hamburg 0,972; number one Counttry Switzerland 0,967).
This is the Elbphilharmonie
Hamburg is beautiful and mich cooler than Berlin, but there are more beautiful cities in Germany!
HELLO FROM Germany ! Nürnberg ❤ 2 nice Girls 😂❤😊
She wouldnt feel safe walking the Reeperbahn at night? Dont know but i guess the worst thing which could happen is getting some kind of a offer which you can refuse. If she is afraid of Women "in Business" just tell you dont sell anything, end of story 🙂
"No caffeine for the squirrel!" 🙂
I am very patriotic about Hamburg. I love my hometown❤
Hamburg Dungeon is an interactiv museum, with live actors giving you a tour into specific and changing historical things that happend, while acting out their role. Very fun❤ 16:14
And the "Dialog im Dunklen" aka Dialog in the dark is so cool as well. For part of the tour, you are totally in the dark, with a blind guide. So you can feel how it would be to loose your sight
I lived in Berlin for 6 month and stay multiple times in Hamburg. If I had to choose one city to live in it will be Hamburg. I love the vibe. I almost felt home in Hamburg but never in Berlin.
The Beatles lived in Hamburg for a while and played live music in a bar before they became internationally famous.
Hello Debbie and Natasha,
I live in Hamburg, which is also called the most beautiful city in the world, the “pearl” by its inhabitants. That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but Hamburg is really beautiful and not as negative as it is portrayed in this video.
For example, it doesn't rain more here than in other cities, that's a fairy tale.
The video I am introducing here also shows the city from its really beautiful and also very interesting side.
@helloerika is right with some statements, but it only shows half the truth and too little of Hamburg's really beautiful side… the reason why I would never move away from here.
