Hamburger Dom

With three fairs (spring, summer and winter) per year it is the biggest and the longest fair throughout Germany and attracts approximately ten million visitors per year.

[citation needed] It is also referred to as a Volksfest (beer festival and travelling funfair).

Hamburger Dom puts on an impressive firework display at the Heiligengeistfeld, that can be seen across most of the city, every Friday that it runs at 22:30 hrs.

With the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century the fair was also held at other times.

[3] On 14 August 1981, a crane collided with the Skylab carousel at the fair, killing seven and injuring fifteen.
