hamburg-domain

The top-level domain .hamburg provides a clear country-specific reference to the historic Hanseatic city of Hamburg.

The geographical top-level domain was introduced in August 2014 and has benefited from the importance of the Hanseatic city since its creation, even beyond the borders of Germany.

The city of Hamburg

The city with over a million inhabitants is connected to the North Sea by its location on the Elbe and was then, in the time of the Hanseatic League, as well as today an important transhipment point for goods and commodities of all kinds. Through the direct access to the North Sea and the internationally used port of Hamburg, the northern German city presents itself as an important logistics hub and is also one of the largest transhipment ports in the world in an international comparison.

Measured by the number of inhabitants, it is also the second largest city in Germany.

Use of the domain

Using the domain for company operations thus provides existing and future customers with an orientation and assignment to the Hamburg location.

Apart from that, the Hanseatic city is also a city state and thus one of the 16 federal states of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Due to its status as a city state, the domain is not only suitable for identification with the city, but also directly with the federal state of Hamburg. Accordingly, the domain can also be interesting for specific uses in the federal state.

In this way, the use of the domain by an authority would be quite conceivable and recommended. Furthermore, it is possible, for example, for a company operating throughout Germany to determine where the company's registered office is located.
Another exciting use of the domain is for cultural institutions, such as theaters. The unique domain extension allows identification and differentiation from other cultural institutions in other cities and states.

Thus, the top-level domain .hamburg is ideally suited for recognition and provides direct access to Hamburg as a business location, especially for public authorities, cultural offerings or websites of companies based in Hamburg.
