The people of Hamburg are actually called Hamburgers.
Etymology and terminology Hamburger in German is the demonym of Hamburg, similar to frankfurter and wiener, names for other meat-based foods and demonyms of the cities of Frankfurt and Vienna (in German Wien) respectively.
According to the Food Lovers Companion, The name “hamburger” comes from the seaport town of Hamburg, Germany, where it is thought that 19th-century sailors brought back the idea of raw shredded beef (known today as beef tartare) after trading with the Baltic provinces of Russia.
The city is best known for its famous harbor area, the Port of Hamburg. In addition to being a major transportation hub, Hamburg has become one of Europe’s most important cultural and commercial centers, as well as a major tourist destination.
Most hamburgers are made from BEEF which comes from “cattle” — Regardless of sex. Today’s beef comes from cows (females that have borne at least one calf), steers (males castrated when very young), heifers (females that have never borne a calf) and bulls under 2 years old.
The Hamburger Origin Story. You may have heard that Hamburg, Germany is the home of the first hamburger. While the inspiration for the hamburger did come from Hamburg, the sandwich concept was invented much later. These early burgers were considered gourmet and were quite pricey, given the quality of Hamburg beef.
Simply put, ground beef is the meat gleaned and ground from the trimmings of other, larger cuts of beef. Typically, it’s labeled according to the part of the cow from which it was sourced. Common cuts include chuck, sirloin, round, and brisket.
From 1815 until 1866 Hamburg was an independent and sovereign state of the German Confederation, then the North German Confederation (1866–71), the German Empire (1871–1918) and during the period of the Weimar Republic (1918–33). In Nazi Germany Hamburg was a city-state and a Gau from 1934 until 1945.

Get an insider’s view on the Hanseatic mentality and find out what distinguishes Hamburg from the rest of Germany. To the rest of Germany, Hamburg’s residents are known as a cool-headed, stubborn bunch ― but we’re not all that bad. Greet a Hamburger with ‘ Moin !’ on the street and you can be sure to get a cheerful grunt in return.
Hamburg is considered the economic and cultural centre of Northern Germany. About five million people live in the region around Hamburg and for them, Hamburg is a shopping and cultural metropolis. 60 museums, 60 theatres, more than 100 music venues and 30 cinemas dot the seven districts of the city.
As already said the German plural is without s. You also say “Ich bin Hamburger”, that means without an article you make clear you mean the place and not the food. Notice this time -er is not pluralization but the male gender ending.
But despite a healthy sense of pride, Hamburgers greatly value a no-nonsense attitude, perhaps because the city knows it that its place on the world stage is thanks to the labour of everyday people ― harbour workers, market vendors, fishermen and sailors. Work hard, play hard.
