Hammonia is the mythological female personification and patron goddess of the German city of Hamburg. Emerging as a symbol of local pride in the 18th century, she embodies the maritime, commercial, and civic spirit of the Hanseatic city.



In March 1801, Hamburg was briefly occupied by Danish forces under the command of Prince Charles of Hesse. The occupation was a political maneuver driven by the Northern Powers' League of Armed Neutrality and pressure from Russia. It ended following the British victory at the Battle of Copenhagen in April 1801, which forced Denmark out of the league.
