FAQ — Hamburg

Why is the port so central to Hamburg's economy?

The Port of Hamburg is the largest seaport in Germany and one of the most important container and transshipment ports in Europe. Tens of thousands of jobs depend on it in cargo handling, freight forwarding, shipping, shipbuilding and port-related industry, which is why it is regarded as the economic backbone of the city.

What role does aviation play in Hamburg?

Hamburg-Finkenwerder is the largest German Airbus site and, after Toulouse and Seattle, one of the three most important centers of civil aviation worldwide. Among other things, fuselage sections are manufactured here and the A320 family is assembled; together with Lufthansa Technik and numerous suppliers, this forms a strong aviation cluster.

Is Hamburg a media location?

Yes. Hamburg is one of the leading media cities in Germany. Large publishers such as Bauer Media, the Spiegel Group and traditionally Gruner + Jahr are based here, along with many advertising, PR and digital agencies. Press, advertising and the communications industry are a defining economic sector.

Which industry shapes Hamburg besides the port and aviation?

Above all, metal and raw-material processing is defining: with Aurubis, Hamburg operates the largest copper smelter in Europe. This is joined by mineral oil processing, the consumer goods industry and a growing sector around renewable energy, particularly the wind power industry.
