„Moin Moin“ and welcome to Hamburg!

Hamburg is the second-largest city in Germany after Berlin and 7th largest city in the European Union. Hamburg lies on the Rivers Elbe and Alster and has a long history being one of the most important Hanse-Cities.
Today, Hamburg is Europe’s third-largest port.

It is therefore nice to sketch what you see around you. We are curious what you make of it. So post your sketch in the #VirtualSketch page and add #Hamburg and #VirtualSketch. Are you participating?
