Overview

  • The SPD-Green coalition, under Mayor Peter Tschentscher, has committed to investing €30 billion in Hamburg's infrastructure, focusing on transport, energy, and digital projects.
  • Key initiatives include the construction of a 100 MW green hydrogen electrolyser in Moorburg and achieving climate neutrality by 2045.
  • The administration plans to maintain its leadership in social housing with over 3,000 subsidized apartments annually, alongside new urban development projects like Oberbillwerder and Grasbrook.
  • A public referendum on hosting the Olympic Games in Hamburg has been announced, revisiting the city's previously rejected 2015 bid.
  • Opposition parties criticize the plan as lacking innovation, with the CDU labeling it a continuation of the status quo but offering conditional support for major infrastructure projects.
