Dear friends of water polo!

I am very pleased that the sporting city of Hamburg is a venue forEuropean title competitions. Water polo and Hamburg are naturalallies. Water sports swimming, rowing, sailing and, of course,water polo are traditionally well established in the city, with itsAlster, Elbe and Bille rivers, as we have often seen in recent years.The German National Masters Championships in water polo, forexample, have been held here nine times already.

The Hamburger Schwimmverband e.V. (Swimming Federation ofHamburg) is the host for this years European Masters Water PoloChampionships, which will take place in the SV Poseidon clubsoutdoor pool in Olloweg, Eidelstedt. This attractive pool complexin green surroundings is excellently suited to the coming eventbecause it is also home to the German first division team SVPoseidon. I hope that everyone will feel at home there, not onlythe nearly 50 teams and their 1,000 or so athletes, but also therepresentatives of LEN the governing body of the Europeanswimming federations, the international swimming federationrepresentatives and all the water polo fans watching.

The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg has plenty to offer allparticipants and visitors. In addition to attractive sporting events,we can boast a whole host of cultural attractions.

The German Swimming Federation is very proud to host togetherwith the City of Hamburg and the Swimming Federation ofHamburg the European Masters Water Polo Championships 2011.

Id like to express a warm welcome to all the players, guests andfriends of Water Polo.

Hamburg, as the First Mayor has declared, celebrates sport in a bigway. Every year more than 50 national and international sportingevents take place there. Hence, experience, atmosphere andexcellent conditions are guaranteed.

Germany has a very huge and enthusiastic Masters Water PoloCommunity with about 50 teams and I am sure that many of themwill participate in this event. And for sure the beautiful city ofHamburg and its hospitality will attract a lot of teams from all overEurope.

The club SV Poseidon Hamburg, as the local host, has alreadyorganised 9 German Masters Water Polo Championships and since2003 successfully participated in all Masters European and WorldChampionships. An old hand who knows the standards andrequirements.

In 2011 the German Swimming Federation will celebrate its 125thanniversary and it is a great pleasure to host a EuropeanChampionship in this very year, especially if we remember that twoof the eight foundation members back in 1886 had been clubs fromHamburg.

Good luck to all the teams and a pleasant stay in Hamburg.

Hamburg is the second-largest metropolis in Germany after Berlin and

the most populous non-capital city in the European Union. The city ishome to approximately 1.8 million people, while the Hamburg metro-politan area (including parts of the neighbouring Federal States of LowerSaxony and Schleswig-Holstein) has more than 4.3 million inhabitants.

Hamburg is a City on the Waterfront, located in the northern part ofGermany, the North Sea to its west and the Baltic to its east. In Ham-burg, the rivers Alster and Bille meet the River Elbe. The central cityarea is situated around two lakes, Binnenalster and Auenalster, a par-adise for yachting and boating, and a popular meeting point for recre-ation and jogging. The many waterways in Hamburg are crossed byalmost 2500 bridges, more than those of Amsterdam and Venice com-bined. The island of Neuwerk is also part of Hamburg, located in theHamburg Wadden Sea National Park.

The official name Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg makes refer-ence to Hamburg's history as a member of the medieval HanseaticLeague and a free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. Hamburgtakes its name from the first permanent building on the site, the castleHammaburg ordered to be built by Emperor Charlemagne in 808. Today,Hamburg is a city-state and one of the 16 Federal States of Germany.

Hamburg is modern, friendly and cosmopolitan, and at once a city fullof contrasts: on the one hand, the colourful St. Pauli quarter with theReeperbahn, the most sinful mile in the world, on the other, thewealthy and well-kept district Blankenese with its numerous villas andromantically beautiful views from the Elbhang (Elbe escarpment) andthe lower beaches of the river. Each corner of Hamburg looks different,but nevertheless everything fits together harmoniously.

Every year, about 13,000 seagoing vessels from all over the world enterthe port of Hamburg, which ranks second in Europe only to Rotterdam.From the cruise terminal and the Landungsbrcken (piers) to the mod-ern container harbour, it smells of freedom and faraway countries here.With a tour in a river launch or a visit to one of the museum ships, vis-itors can experience directly why Hamburg is also called "The Gatewayto World". Every Sunday morning from 5 oclock to 9.30, visitors canbuy goods from all over the world at Hamburg's traditional Fish Market.

The historic centre of the harbour is the Speicherstadt district, a beautifulwarehouse complex built at the end of the 19th century. Coffee, tea andspices were stored here. Today the Speicherstadt is home to several mu-seums and exhibitions. Against this imposing backdrop, Europe's largestinner city development the HafenCity is being built on former port

ground. The Elbphilharmonie is scheduled to house its first concerts in2012 in a spectacular building on top of an old warehouse.

The skyline of Hamburg is marked by the towers of the main churchesSt. Katharinen, St. Petri, St. Jacobi, St. Nikolai and Hamburgs landmarkSt. Michaelis church. The main attraction for many tourists is the Alt-stadt of Hamburg, the oldest quarter with storehouses and residentialbuildings from the 17th to 19th century. The best-known building inHamburg is probably the Chilehaus, a brick office building dating from1922 and spectacularly shaped like an ocean liner.

The city centre of Hamburg is situated between the Main Station andGnsemarkt (goose market), with a variety of shopping destinations ofinternational reputation. Visitors can wander through one of a dozencovered shopping galleries or take a stroll along the boulevards ofMnckebergstrasse, Spitalerstrasse and Neuer Wall. From Jungfern-stieg, Alster steamers leave for tours of the Alster and through thecanals several times a day, offering appealing views of the city skyline.

Hamburg offers more than 40 theatres, 60 museums and 100 musicvenues and clubs. The Beatles started their career in the early 1960sat the Indra Club in Hamburg St. Pauli. The state-owned DeutschesSchauspielhaus, the Thalia Theater, and the Culture Factory Kampnagelare well-known in Germany and abroad. The Hamburg State Opera isone of the leading German opera houses, whose orchestra is the Phil-harmoniker Hamburg. Hamburg is also known as the place with thehighest density of musicals in Germany. The Lion King Theatre is alarge tent in the harbour; guests arrive either by boat or by walkingthrough the historic Old Elbe Tunnel.

Hamburg is very well-connected to Europe, and the most notable in-ternational Airlines approach to Hamburg Airport. Also by train and bycar Hamburg is easy to reach. The intercity train network connectsHamburg Europe-wide. Furthermore, motorway A1 and A7 are bond-ing the metropolis to all directions.

2008 a brand-new rapid train railway station opened at the HamburgAirport, connecting international travellers to the public transport sys-tem of Hamburg. Thereby, visitors reach their hotels and other pointsof interest easily without being caught up in traffic.

Hamburg provides a fine network of public transport connecting thecity centre with the suburbs day and night by busses and trains, un-derground (U-Bahn) as well as by rapid transit railway system (S-Bahn).The public transport system of Hamburg also includes some pictur-esque routes by barge, cruising through the harbour and across theAlster.

The competition site is located northwest from the city centre (seeupper left corner of chart), well-connected to the airport as well as thecentre by public transport. Be aware, that parking area at the venue is

very limited! Teams travelling by coach: busses can't pass a low rail-way bridge 300 meters off the venue. So, please make use of the pub-lic transport system. Participants and visitors will find a choice of sixbus lines here, as connection to all official hotels, and as firsthand con-nection to Jungfernstieg, a beautiful promenade in the city centre. Un-derground and rapid transit railway stations are either close to thevenue as to the airport.

For the duration of the competition an inexpensive nine-day ticket forthe public transport network will be offered to participants, officials,family members and visitors, enabling independent travel betweenthe hotel and the sports facilities. In addition, ticket-holders have ac-cess to all public transport in the greater Hamburg area. The ticket isvalid around the clock, so public transport is a convenient choice whenvisiting a musical in the evening and then taking a trip down theReeperbahn.

The Organizing Committee highly recom-mends using the unique public transportsystem of Hamburg.
