Hamburgensie
A Hamburgensie is generally something distinctive to Hamburg -related, only or mainly in Hamburg occurring. The term is formed from the Latinized form of the adjective hamburgisch . Hamburgensien are differentiated in the original, in the narrower and in the broader sense.
Motifs
The term Hamburgensie was coined in the first half of the 19th century for the graphic work of the Suhr brothers and especially for the lithographic series Views of Hamburg and the surrounding area published by Peter Suhr (1788–1857) from 1829 onwards . Drawn from nature with more than a hundred works. The series Der Ausruf in Hamburg , published as early as 1808, with 120 colored copperplate engravings and the Hamburg costumes published around 1810 with 36 copperplate engravings by Christoffer Suhr (1771–1842) were subsequently included . These views of Hamburg's topography and Hamburg's folk life found a wide audience and became popular collector's items. Gustav Pauli, director of the Hamburger Kunsthalle , called it a hundred years later the "panorama industry of the busy Suhr brothers".
The views were widely imitated and the term was expanded to include a large number of historical pictorial motifs that were created up to the middle of the 20th century. These are graphics, lithographs, etchings , copper engravings, but also photos of everyday culture , of buildings, streets or city views or even maps . The Hamburg motif is central. Well-known artists who created Hamburgensien include the photographer Charles Fuchs (1803–1874), the lithographer Wilhelm Heuer (1813–1890) and the draftsman Ebba Tesdorpf (1851–1920).

Hamburg books
Also literature about Hamburg is a Hamburgensie in the strict sense when the city's history is or contains high quality pictures of the city. These include, for example, works on regional and regional history, documentation of legal texts, collections of the Hamburg daily press, illustrated books and art and cultural literature. Both the Association for Hamburg History from 1869 and the Society of Book Friends in Hamburg from 1908 see the publication of Hamburgensien as one of their main tasks. The State and University Library has an extensive literary collection of Hamburgensien , which in turn is available to the public in the Hamburgensien reading room and partly also digitally.
In a broader sense
Hamburgensien in the broader sense are first of all peculiarities of the Hamburg administration, such as the eternity of the Senate , after which its term of office was not bound to a legislative period and which was abolished in 1996, the legal relationship in the two-city Bergedorf , for which Hamburg was the administration from 1420 to 1867 shared with Lübeck , the Libertatem quam peperere , which, contrary to a decision of the citizens, stands as a Latin inscription above the town hall portal , or the swan system , which has been responsible for looking after the Alster swans since 1674 .
The term was expanded to include people who are considered Hamburg originals , such as the water carrier Hans Hummel (1787–1854), the tropical fruit seller Zitronenjette (1841–1916) or the street vendor Oskar vom horse market (1902–1969). Hamburgensia also includes special pieces of music, such as the Hamburg anthem Stadt Hamburg an der Elbe Auen (Hammonia) from 1829, which is played on official occasions, but as such has no legally regulated status. The song An de Eck steiht'n Jung mit'n Tüdelband developed over the years from the Couplet Een Echt Hamborger Jung by the Wolf brothers from 1917, including an additional stanza that refers to the Hamburg uprising of 1923. Typical dishes and foods such as eel soup , hamburgers bacon , Franzbrötchen and Finkenwerder Art plaice are also counted as hamburgers. The curiosity cabinet Harrys Hamburger Hafenbasar, founded by the Hamburg seaman Harry Rosenberg in 1952, with a collection of around 300,000 objects brought by seafarers , has also become Hamburgensie. There is also a hamburg in the fire service; Whilst everywhere in Germany the abbreviation "HLF" means emergency fire fighting vehicle, in Hamburg this abbreviation stands for Hamburg fire fighting vehicle . The Hamburg fire-fighting vehicle differs from the emergency fire-fighting group vehicle in terms of the equipment required.

Technical terms
The sewer system is called Siel in Hamburg . Originally, the wastewater was drained into the Elbe through flood gates as the tide ran off. William Lindley probably adopted this concept from land reclamation through dikes . The excess water from agricultural areas is drained into the North Sea at low tide .
Likewise, the street gully with Trumme has its own technical term, which was probably derived from the geological Trum for a narrow side corridor.
Political system
For historical reasons there are different names compared to the territorial states in the Federal Republic.
| Hamburg | Flat land |
|---|---|
| Citizenship | Parliament |
| First Mayor | Prime Minister |
| senate | State government |
| (Senate) authority | (State) Ministry |
| senator | minister |
The municipal level is made up of the seven districts with their district office heads and district assemblies. In a very simplified way, this corresponds to the mayors and local parliaments. Due to its status as a city-state, there are no (rural) counties . These tasks are divided between the districts and authorities.
