Historical background:

The Hamburg flag is one of the oldest city flags in Europe. Since the 12th century, the white castle gate with its three towers has been a symbol of the Hanseatic city's freedom and defensibility . The central tower with its cross represents faith, while the two outer towers with stars symbolize protection and vigilance. For centuries, this emblem appeared on coins, seals, and later flags – and in 1834, it was officially declared the state flag of Hamburg in its current form.
