Hamburg, Germany



Hamburg, officially Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, is the second largest city in Germany and the eighth largest city in the European Union. The city is situated on the river Elbe. 

The official name reflects its history as a member of the medieval Hanseatic League, as a free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire, a city-state, and one of the 16 states of Germany. Before the 1871 Unification of Germany, it was a fully sovereign state. Prior to the constitutional changes in 1919, the stringent civic republic was ruled by a class of hereditary grand burghers or Hanseaten.

The Elbe palaces, Dresden

The Elbe palaces
The three Elbe palaces, perched on the Loschwitz hillside high above the river, afford a magnificent view out over Dresden. 
Albrechtsberg Palace was built for Prince Albrecht of Prussia. 
Villa Stockhausen, the middle of Albrecht's three palaces, was built for the prince's chamberlain and was later bought by industrialist and toothpaste-magnate Karl August Lingner. 
Schloss Eckberg has been used as a hotel since 1985. 
Once a year the three residences and surrounding parkland become the venue for an enchanting evening of culture and entertainment.(source)
