List of honorary citizens of Hamburg information


Hamburg greater coat of arms used by the Hamburg Senate.

The honorary citizen award (German: Ehrenbürgerrecht) is the highest decoration of Hamburg, Germany. The awards have been given sporadically since 1813, originally only to non-Hamburg citizens (with one exception, Johannes Brahms in 1889) "to make them as one of us" (um sie zu einem der unseren zu machen). Since 1948, it has been extended to Hamburg citizens as well.

The awards are given by the Senate of Hamburg, and since 1848 the state parliament (Hamburgische Bürgerschaft) is asked to confirm the honor. It can also be revoked (as in the case of Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring), and gives no rights or duty.[1][2]
