In the German Reich was a State Hamburg (including rural areas) and the City Hamburg? Maybe there are some more informations? - Sebastian scha. (talk) 14:29, 23 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Both. Hamburg was (and still is) a city-state. 52 Pickup (deal) 17:55, 23 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

There was a substantial difference for centuries between the "Land Hamburg" and the "City" until Hamburg became an "Einheitsgemeinde" in 1938. The substantial rural areas ("Landherrenschaft") and other cities in "Land Hamburg" where governed separatly. The cities were Bergedorf, Geesthacht and Cuxhaven before the Greater Hamburg Act and Bergedorf, Altona, Wandsbek, Harburg-Wilhemsburg for a short period after.--Aeroid (talk) 10:11, 18 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

The idea that the Nazis hated references to "freedom" is silly and wrong. During the war years, official propaganda routinely referred to "Germany's War for Freedom", and in the period before attaining power NSDAP posters routinely promised "Freedom and Bread". Whatever the true reasons for the change in Hamburg's official name, a hatred for the concept of freedom can't be among them. They said it all the time, no matter that their actions belied it.
