Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany and its inhabitants claim it's the greatest one. It is split between two graticules.

Graticules

Both graticules cover the independent city Hamburg as well as the "Länder" (they are like U.S. states) Schleswig-Holstein, Niedersachsen and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Hamburg and it's two graticules

West (latitude 53, longitude 9)

The graticule is split by the river Elbe. Except by boat or swimming you can only cross it via bridges or tunnels located in Hamburg. In the north is Schleswig-Holstein, south the river is Niedersachsen. In Niedersachsen there is the "Wildpark Lüneburger Heide", a nice national park. You can view the graticule with all Geohashes rendered 2008 in Google Maps.

East (latitude 53, longitude 10)

This graticule contains the eastern half of Hamburg, as well as the city "Lübeck", parts of Schleswig-Holstein and Niedersachsen and a small corner of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Local Geohashers

Hermann is bike powered, living in the west-end. Will try to reach every hash between the river Elbe and "Pinneberg".

Arnew is bike/car/hvv powered, living central. Will try to reach at least one hash ;).

Knuff is hvv/feet powered, living cental, not being gps-powered at the moment, will trying to be... somewhere, someday :)

Reached Geohashes

• 2008-05-26 was reached by Hermann. Probably the first reached hash in this graticule and possibly the first successful documented geohash in Germany.
• 2008-06-03 Hermann and Felix bicycled there.
• 2008-06-24 Hermann and Felix bicycled there.
• 2008-06-29 Hermann bicycled there.
