Ethnic groups

In 2008 Hamburg had the highest Afghan diasporic population of any city in the continent, with 7,000 German citizens of Afghan origin and 14,000 other residents of Afghan origin. The city has therefore been nicknamed by some as Little Kabul.^[11] Immigration began with the start of the Soviet–Afghan War in 1979 and additional immigration came after its end. Due to the differing origins and political affiliations of the emigrés, Jochen-Martin Dutsch [de] et al. wrote in Der Spiegel that "Hamburg's Afghan community was relatively loose-knit and was rarely perceived as an ethnic group, partly because these immigrants had been so deeply divided at home that there was little left to unite them as a community abroad."^[12] Therefore the residents focused internally on their own families and keeping them together.^[12] Afghan Museum was in Hamburg.

In 1963 there were 800 Japanese people in Hamburg, including 50 children.^[13] In 1985 the city had a Japanese community, though it was not the largest in Germany as by then Düsseldorf had the largest one.^[14] Japanese School in Hamburg is in nearby Halstenbek.

Sexual orientation

The Hamburg Institute for Sexual Research conducted a survey over the sexual behavior of young people in 1970, and repeated it in 1990. Whereas in 1970 18% of the boys aged 16 and 17 reported to have had at least one same-sex sexual experience, the number had dropped to 2% by 1990.^[15] "Ever since homosexuality became publicly argued to be an innate sexual orientation, boys' fear of being seen as gay has, if anything, increased," the director of the institute, Volkmar Sigusch, suggested in a 1998 article for a German medical journal.^[16]

Notes

^ a: The total figures for area and population are taken from the Wikipedia site.

^ b: The total figures for area and population include only European portions of transcontinental countries. The precision of these figure is compromised by the ambiguous geographical extend of Europe and the lack of references for European portions of transcontinental countries.

^ c: The total figures include the island Neuwerk and people living on ships.

^ d: Only liveborn without later correction.
