Welcome to Hamburg and TUHH!

Hamburgis a many-sided city that is worth living in, Germany’s largest seaport, the city with the most bridges in Europe, and the Gateway to the World. 

Hamburg is Hagenbeck’s Zoo, the Reeperbahn, the Speicherstadt and the Hafencity, the Alster Lake and the Elbe River, the Stadtpark.

In short, Hamburg is big and colorful, simply the right place to study!
