Announcing the new service Marianne Sammann, Lufthansa's General Manager UK & Ireland, said: 'This new service shows the importance of Birmingham within Lufthansa's worldwide network. As well as offering our Birmingham passengers quick and easy access to Germany's second largest city - Hamburg city centre is just 20 minutes from the airport, the service also increases the availability of onward connections as Lufthansa continues to develop Hamburg as a mini-hub to Central and Eastern Europe.'
 
For the short break traveller Hamburg offers a high quality of life and international flair in one of Germany's most beautiful cities. As an international port, media centre cultural stronghold and sporting venue Hamburg offers a variety of entertainment and attractions. It is also Germany's greenest city with parks and green spaces, waterways and woods covering almost half of the area within the city boundaries.  The city is loved for its contemporary scene as well as its cultural offerings and its stunning location, on the Elbe and Alster Rivers, provides visitors to the 1,200-year-old city with plenty to do. In Hamburg, the word "boredom" is unknown thanks to its colourful activity in the St. Pauli entertainment district, unforgettable musicals, a night at the theatre, Michaelis Church (colloquially "der Michel") or the impressive harbour.
