Question

Are the people who live in Hamburg germany called Hamburgers?

Answer 1

that' right.

but the most people wouldn't say that. the call themselfs fishheads.

Answer 2

Yes we are and proud of it! ;-)

That's why peole sell umbrellas with the word "Hamburger" or "Hamburgerin" (which is the feminine form) all around town ;)

Answer 3

No, they are not called "Hamburgers", they are called "Hamburger" so without the "s" on the end. I know this because I am from Germany. People in any city are called without the "s", such as:

Berliner

Wiesbadener

Münchener

but for women, they use the "in" on the end and write/say:

Berlinerin

Wiesbadenerin

Münchenerin

These are the differences.

Answer 10

Yes they are referred to as 'Hamburgers'

Answer 11

yes they are called hamburgers but its pronounced ham-bour-ger with an emphasis on the g

Answer 12

no they call in german "Hamburger" and the people from Frankfurt "Frankfurter" I think they have no problems with it.

Answer 13

Yes. And it's no coincidence that the name of the food

is the same. Hamburgers were first sold in NY by German

immigrants. Back then in their original form as meat balls.

I doubt someone from Hamburg first sold it though. Germans

were generally referred to as Hamburgers as the sea port

they came from was Hamburg.

Answer 14

In German the term is "Hamburger" ... for the people of Germany´s boomtown. ,,, Hamburg Bank in German; Hamburger Bank  or Hamburger Sparkasse ....
