Moon in Hamburg Today — Full Moon

Moon in Hamburg — Did You Know?

• ·Hamburg's historisch role as the Hanseatic League's leading Hafen Stadt embedded Mond- timekeeping into its maritime Kultur: the Hamburg Tide Tables — published annually since 1714 and based on the Mond- tidal cycle — are the oldest continuously published tidal almanac in the world, and the Hamburg Hafen Authority still ceremonially distributes the new year's tidal calendar at the Fischmarkt on the morning of the January Neumond.
• ·Hamburg straddles the Elbe Fluss 110 km inland from the Norden Meer, at the point where the tidal influence of the Ozean is still felt; from the Blankenese hillside village — a wealthy westlich suburb perched on steil bluffs über the Elbe — the Vollmond im Winter erhebt sich over the flach Elbe marshes (Vierlande) to the Osten and its reflection sweeps across the wide tidal Fluss unter, while container ships silhouetted against the Mondlicht add a distinctly industrial Hafen character to the view.
• ·At Breitengrad 53.6° N, Hamburg sees the winter Vollmond arc niedrig through the südlich Himmel, reaching a maximum Höhe of approximately 60°; the Vollmond in December überquert the Hamburg skyline at rooftop level, barely clearing the Elbphilharmonie's glass wave roof and the warehouse Viertel's red-brick gables before its long shallow transit back to the westlich Horizont.
