Note: This page contains all the informations about Hamburg in Euro Truck Simulator 2. |
Hamburg is a major city in northern Germany, featured in German Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. It is the second-largest city in Germany after Berlin.
Hamburg is one of the first batch of German cities which received a reskin in version 1.32 update.[1] In particular, Hamburg's reskin was presented as the most prominent one in the first batch.[2] Hamburg was reworked in the 1.48 update[3], along with Rostock, Travemünde, and Kiel.
Landmarks[]
Hamburg's large harbour can be seen, but it's inaccessible to truckers, and offers neither ferry service nor trucking opportunity. Other landmarks in Hamburg are the Astraturm, the Atlantic-Haus, the Empire Riverside Hotel, the Heinrich Hertz Tower and the St. Michael's Church.
Features[]
The five depots in the city belong to RTLOG, Container Port, DFH, NS Oil and AI Automotive respectively.
There is a garage, a hotel, a recruitment agency, a service shop, and a small Iveco truck dealer in Hamburg.
Connections[]
Four Bundesautobahnen serve Hamburg:
- runs southwest-northeast and links Hamburg to cities like Osnabrück, Bremen and Rostock.
- runs north-south and links Hamburg to Kiel, Hannover, as well as Denmark. (In fact, in-game signs for "Hamborg" can be seen near Danish cities Esbjerg and Odense)
- continues from the A1 to the east of Hamburg, and runs east-southeast towards Berlin.
- In update 1.48 the city was rebuilt. A short section of A255 runs south links Hamburg to A1.
Since the rework Hamburg is only accessible via one entrance from the . Before. there were two entrances one coming from the and the other from .
In addition, a minor road runs off from the eastern entrance of Hamburg and heads for Magdeburg.

Reskin in version 1.32 update[]
Hamburg is one of the more extensively reworked cities during the 1.32 update. The main changes include:
- The accessible part of the city is rotated about 60° anticlockwise.
- Both the eastern and southern access roads are shut off beyond the hotel. Instead, the wide road west of the truck dealer and Sanbuilders site is extended. This only access to Hamburg meets the minor road to Magdeburg at the interchange with .
- The city is moved from the west of to the east of it, better reflecting real geography.
- The crossing between and near Hamburg is converted from two trumpets to one cloverleaf. Nevertheless, Bundesautobahns 39, the road spanning the cloverleaf in real-life, is omitted as it doesn't contribute to any useful connections in-game.
- The interchange between and east of Hamburg is also rationalized. In general, near Hamburg is upgraded into a continuous highway to better reflect the real-life road.
- The crosses the Elbe west of Hamburg in tunnel instead of bridge, to reflect real-life better. A junction is also present north of the tunnel, possibly to connect a northern district of Hamburg, although it is inaccessible to truckers.
Trivia[]
- A261 Is Rendered, But Not Signposted From The Game.
- Despite being further away from the Danish border than Kiel, in-game road signs in Denmark pointing south (mainly along the Danish section of and ) display the Danish name of Hamburg (i.e. Hamborg), possibly because going to Hamburg does not involve significant turn-offs from the continuous cross-border route.
- The following twin-cities of Hamburg are also featured in one or more SCS Software games:
