Hamburgnoun. A city in Germany. Etymology: From the name of a fortress in the area, Hammaburg.

The name Hamburg comes from the first permanent building on the site, a castle which the Emperor Charlemagne ordered constructed in AD 808. It rose on rocky terrain in a marsh between the River Alster and the River Elbe as a defence against Slavic incursion, and acquired the name Hammaburg, burg meaning castle or fort.

German

Hamburg was a member of the 39-state German Confederation from 1814 to 1866 and, as the other member-states, enjoyed full sovereignty.

It was abolished after the second World War by the Allied Powers and the Soviet Union, specifically so as to neuter the German capability and spirit for fighting.

The root of the name is from the Gauls, who called the tribe across the river the Germani, which might have meant “men of the forest” or possibly “neighbor.” The name was anglicized by the English when they made a small adjustment to the ending of Germany to get Germany.

Originally Answered: Are the Germans originally celtic? No. Germans are Germanic. Germanic and Celtic people both stem from a common theoretized group that is linguistically identified as “Indo-European”, though we know precious little about them.

Motherland was defined as “the land of one’s mother or parents,” and fatherland as “the native land of one’s fathers or ancestors.” The Latin word for fatherland is “patria.” One more explanation: Fatherland was a nationalistic term used in Nazi Germany to unite Germany in the culture and traditions of ancient Germany.

Germany is a founding member of the European Union and the Eurozone. In 2016, Germany recorded the highest trade surplus in the world worth $310 billion, making it the biggest capital exporter globally. Germany is rich in timber, lignite, potash and salt.

Germany isn’t called Fatherland, it’s not a name. Fatherland is the land you come from. Where your (fore) fathers had lived. Any country is somebody’s fatherland.

German power rests primarily on the country’s economic strength. In terms of gross domestic product (GDP), Germany ranks fourth in the world, behind the United States, China, and Japan, and ahead of France and the United Kingdom. Germany has strong economic, social, and political ties with all its neighbors.

Originally Answered: Is America the fatherland or the motherland? America is neither father, nor mother. Our country does not succor us – we provide for it, for the common welfare.

The first detailed origins legend of the Anglo-Saxons was by Bede (died 735), and in his case he named the Angles and Saxons of Britain as peoples who once lived in Germania, like, he says, the Frisians, Rugians, Danes, Huns, Old Saxons (Antiqui Saxones) and the Bructeri.

The Romans were able to “conquer” large parts of Germania, briefly. They were unable to HOLD it for any length of time. The reason stemmed from the region’s “backwardness.” There was no central government or central power through which the Romans could operate. There were no cities (except the ones the Romans built).

The ancient Celts were a collection of people that originated in central Europe and that shared similar culture, language and beliefs. Over the years, the Celts migrated. They spread across Europe and set up shop everywhere from Turkey and Ireland to Britain and Spain.
