Hamburg lies in northern Germany on the river Elbe, between Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony; on the map it is number 3. Germany's largest port is here.

In Hamburg, the head of government is called Erste(r) Bürgermeister(in) (First Mayor); he or she is elected by the Bürgerschaft and leads the Senat (state government). 'Regierender Bürgermeister' is the title in Berlin.

In Hamburg, members of the state government are called Senatoren (senators). Foreign policy is a federal task (Article 32 of the Grundgesetz), so there is no senator for external relations.
