I haven't been in Luneburg since 1957, only 12 years after the end of WWII. Stationed there with the BAOR doing my National Service with the HLI. Hamburg was where we went for some R&R at the weekend. What a change! Thanks for the videos Steve; they allow me to revisit some of the places I knew so long ago.

Ann McDermott thanks Ann! It’s such a lovely wee place! And I was lucky to have that nice view out of a rare sunny day in Edinburgh! Thanks for your support :)

It's Saturday evening in Australia which means it's time for The SteveMarsh Show.Great video.

Woke up this morning to a notification of a new Steve Marsh video. Yay! Another fine work young man. So OK I am officially envious that you can just hop on a plane and end up in Hamburg on the cheap and fast. Would love to visit Hamburg. Beautiful place. You really seem to have a knack for capturing charming aspects of the places you visit. I am continually amazed how you can go to all these places without renting a car. You just can't do that here in the U.S. except New York and maybe Chicago.

At least there is a theory that the Hamburg streetfood „Rundstück warm“ is the ancestor of the American burger. A „Rundstück“ is a breadroll in Hamburg‘s dialect, otherwise the Germans call it Brötchen, Semmel or Schrippe. And what turns it into a warm meal is the „Frikadelle“, a fried meatloaf, that goes with it. That meatloaf is usually 3/4 ground beef, one quarter ground pork to add more fat and juice, plus lots of chopped onions, eggs and optionally some stall bread as a filler. It is the poor relative of a steak and is normally eaten with veggies and potatoes, no gravy.

I love Germany and we flew to Heidelberg in 2017 rented a car and had a great time…a beautiful country 🤗

...wow, Steve - this was a bit of an emotional roller-coaster for me... why? - because I was born in Hamburg, but I never lived there after my early months in this life... but my grandmother had a farm close to Lueneburg, and I returned there many times during my teenage years... even only touching lightly into this in you short clip, gave me chills... feeling very grateful for this... thank you!! xx

Hamburg. - One of my favourite cities! First time was a cut price "Citybreak" back in the mid-eighties, when the ferries from Harwich still used to tie up at the Landungsbrucken.

You seem to have picked the same things as me and my son, cheers...I remember well when we took the Hambourg Harbour Cruise with my son and how excited he was with all the containers, cranes and docks, to me it was more like dadaistic esthetics, I prefer Lüneburg, but I do agree with you that the view with the planes from Hambourg AirPort Restaurant is one of the best in the world, of course, and my son found it epic, And for true hamburger lovers like the two of us a Hamburger in Hambourg is a must. One detail, I remember having discussed the Roses of Bulgaria with one bulgarian guy watching the planes landing and taking off at Hambourg AirPort. That would be my advice to you for your next flight to share your experience of the Rose harvesting in Bulgaria. That guy was so enthusiastic about it as a local that it must be something unique with those Rose gardens. The season of the Rose harvesting comes soon, at the turn of May and June.

Ahoy Steve! Great video! I truly can not wait 'till my next flight! How you catch the moments of pure joy in aviation is priceless, matey! Hats off. Hamburg is definitely on my list, good to know it's cheap, Berlin needed planning but had my budget managed. Capt. of the g.o. Blackthorne
