Citius Altius Fortius Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hamburg is inviting the youth of the world to celebrate the 2016 Olympics in Northern Germany. The red castle represents the city - the wave lines represent on one hand the waters of Elbe and Alster and on the other hand the vibrating pulse of life - the olympic colours should mean that the Olympic Games will be part of the life in the city of Hamburg.

Citius Altius Fortius Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 It's time to introduce Fiete, the seagull, which would become the mascot of the Hamburg Olympics Fiete is a very typically name in Northern Germany and he speaks "Missingsch", what is the dialect of Hamburg... "Moin Moin" means "Hello" and/or "Welcome" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citius Altius Fortius Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I would like to introduce Hamburg a little bit further - the city has neither a castle or a palace, but it has a kind of graceful beauty (I recommend to click on "cinemascope" on the left sides of the pics: Elbe - on this panorama you can see the place where the Olympic Park would be built (it is nearly on the right edge of the pic, where you can see a bridge over the River Elbe in the background) Jungernstieg - here would the Triathlon Swim and the Open Water Swim start City Hall - the square would become the changing zone during the triathlon and the start of the Marathon Aussenalster (Outer Alster Lake) - this is one of the most famous views of Hamburg - the walk around the Outer Alster Lake is 7.6 km long and is a kind of "catwalk" on Sundays (to watch and to be seen)... One of the many "Beach-Clubs" in Hamburg - very popular in summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citius Altius Fortius Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 The Olympic Park embedded in the urban developement plan for Hamburg - areas on the south side (north is on the bottom) of the river Elbe, which were previously used as harbour area will be changed into a recreation/residential area, which will become the link between the city centre and Wilhelmsburg, which will become the next urban developement area... Therefore the Olympic Games of 2016 would change Hamburg forever and will have a great legacy!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citius Altius Fortius Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 We have no problems with smog or pollution - Germany has a high standard in environmental protection - no matter if that are emissions by the industry or private houses/cars (there are even laws that you aren't allowed to burn your private garden rubbish) ... In the case of pollution the industry or private persons are punished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
