The municipality, in figures

The municipality

Hamburg, Freie und Hansestadt is a very large municipality measuring 126 by 63 kilometres, spread over 4 separate pieces. With 1.910.160 inhabitants it is densely populated (2.572 per square kilometre). It has a coastline, and that matters: the strip of maritime-terrestrial public domain is governed by its own rule, different from that of the rest of the municipality. Within its boundaries there are 32 protected areas, including Hamburgisches Wattenmeer. There, the rules on permitted uses are set by each area's own plan. It borders 40 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.
