Halachic note
Hamburg follows the local custom of lighting candles 18 minutes before sunset. The Shabbat-end time shown uses tzeit hakochavim (8.5°). A 72-minute alternative is also shown for those who follow that opinion.
Hamburg's resilient Jewish community, rebuilt after the Shoah, is centered in the Rotherbaum district. Shabbat life revolves around the Hohe Weide synagogue, with limited but organized kosher food options available for residents and visitors who plan ahead.
