'We were just four Liverpudlian kids, man. No more than that, no less. We were unknowns. Faces in the crowd. But Hamburg helped us find our feet. A fan of mine once asked me if Liverpool made the Beatles. It sure made us. But no, it was Hamburg that made the Beatles. 
John Lennon, perhaps the most loved music icon of all time, had this to say in an interview about Hamburg “ the city that discovered four regular guys from Liverpool and made them a local sensation. What followed is really the stuff that most people can't even dream about. 

That phenomenon is not new to Hamburg, though. The city has literally seen everything that art has to offer “ from majestic churches and cathedrals to antiquated performance centers graced by the best of the best. 

Moreover, another telling contribution that the city of Hamburg can boast about and be innately proud of is the quintessential American food “ Hamburger.
