[[William Wordsworth]], [[Dorothy Wordsworth]], and [[Samuel Taylor Coleridge]] spent the last two weeks of September 1798 at Hamburg. Dorothy wrote a detailed journal of their stay, labelled "The Hamburg Journal (1798) by noted Wordsworth scholar [[Edward de Selincourt]]".<ref>Journals of Dorothy Wordsworth, Macmillan 1959.</ref>

A Hamburg saying, referring to its anglophile nature, is: "Wenn es in London anfängt zu regnen, spannen die Hamburger den Schirm auf". ... "When it starts raining in London, people in Hamburg open their umbrellas".
