HAMBURG

Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany (2006)

BRIDGE, ST. KATHERINEN CHURCH
St. Katherinen dates back to 1256. The Baroque spire seen here was built in 1657. The church was all but destroyed in a 1943 air raid, and was restored between 1950 and 1957. Hamburg has more than 2,300 bridges--almost twice as many as Amsterdam (1,200).
