Hamburger Dom 2012 Live Stream, Festival Funfair Webcam Feed

Event Information:

The Hamburger Dom is a large funfair held in Hamburg, at Heiligengeistfeld area, in the North of Germany. With three fairs (spring, summer and winter) per year it is the biggest in Northern Germany and the longest fair throughout Germany. It attracts approximately nine million visitors annually. Just like the Oktoberfest, this Volksfest (lit. peoples fair) is a mix of both beer festival and funfair.

A market in or in front of Hamburg's cathedral was first recorded in 1329, at the beginning only in special seasons like Christmas. With the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century the fair was also held on other times. After the demolition of the cathedral (1804–1807), the market was held on the Gänsemarkt (geese market) in 1804, but kept the name Dom. Since 1892, the funfair was held at Heiligengeistfeld (lit. field of the Holy Spirit) and the name was used for all fairs in the area.

Sommerdom or Hummelfest (summer fair or Hummel market) since 1947: 31 days during summer

Saint Mary's Cathedral in Hamburg (German: Sankt Mariendom, also Mariendom, or simply Dom or Domkirche, or Hamburger Dom) was the cathedral of the ancient Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hamburg (not to be confused with Hamburg's modern Archdiocese, est. 1994), which was merged in personal union with the Diocese of Bremen in 847, and later in real union to form the Archdiocese of Bremen, as of 1027. Since then this Dom used to be the concathedral besides Bremen Cathedral in Bremen.
