Hamburg's roots

Hammaburg is the nucleus of Hamburg and gave the city its name. In Medieval times it was the diocesan town and missionary centre for Northern Europe, built in the first quarter of the 9th century. Today, all that has remained are the ruins on display in the St. Petri Community Centre, which was built around its foundations. But there is a fine model of the Hammaburg and an interesting illustration of how Hamburg developed into a city at the Museum of Hamburg's History.
