In November 2025, the City of Hamburg is launching the public dialog on the bid for the Olympics and Paralympics. We at Stadtmanufaktur have designed the various formats for citizen participation. Here in the magazine, we share our impressions of all fifteen events.

Since its foundation in 2006, the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg has developed into Europe's largest club festival. The festival strengthens the Hamburg brand as a music location, attracts international visitors and boosts the local economy. Julia Staron, district manager of the Reeperbahn BID, remembers the birth of the Reeperbahn Festival.
