One of the German managers was from East Germany, and was very much a "Northern German."
We used to bait him, by talking about Bavarian stereotypes, like steins and lederhosen.
He'd get cranky, and start going on about how "We're Northern Germans..."
Hamburg is a pretty industrial city, and was firebombed flat, in WWII, so most of the architecture is relatively new (like Tokyo).
Lübeck was really cool. The company we worked with, started in a 1,000-year-old building.
