Hamburg scored 95 overall out of total rating of 100. In terms of specific categories, Hamburg got 90 points for stability, 100 points for health care, 93.5 points for the environment and culture, 100 points for infrastructure and 91.7 points for education.

  1. I like to see this. This is the City I was born in, was bombed out with my family, moved back to after forced to live in the Russian Zone, and emigrated from to the US. I miss Germany and my Hamburg very much.My Husband came from this City too.We emigrated, since there was no sign for a better future at the time. A bombed out City whithout enough housing, we only had one room with my Parents.I wish, we never left this Place. Missing Hamburg and Germany !!!
